The field of ultrafast nonlinear optics is broad and
multidisciplinary, and encompasses areas concerned with both the
generation and measurement of ultrashort pulses of light, as well
as those concerned with the applications of such pulses. Ultrashort
pulses are extreme events - both in terms of their durations, and
also the high peak powers which their short durations can
facilitate. These extreme properties make them powerful experiment
tools. On one hand, their ultrashort durations facilitate the
probing and manipulation of matter on incredibly short timescales.
On the other, their ultrashort durations can facilitate high peak
powers which can drive highly nonlinear light-matter interaction
processes. Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics covers a complete range of
topics, both applied and fundamental in nature, within the area of
ultrafast nonlinear optics. Chapters 1 to 4 are concerned with the
generation and measurement of ultrashort pulses. Chapters 5 to 7
are concerned with fundamental applications of ultrashort pulses in
metrology and quantum control. Chapters 8 and 9 are concerned with
ultrafast nonlinear optics in optical fibres. Chapters 10 to 13 are
concerned with the applications of ultrashort pulses in areas such
as particle acceleration, microscopy, and micromachining. The
chapters are aimed at graduate-student level and are intended to
provide the student with an accessible, self-contained and
comprehensive gateway into each subject.
