This volume contains papers presented at the Ninth International
Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena held at Dana Point, CA, USA, from
May 2 to 6, 1994. The biannual Ultrafast Phenomena Conferences
provide a forum for discussion of the latest advances in ultrafast
optics and applications in science and engineering. The vitality
and excitement of the various disciplines sharing common interest
in ultrafast phenomena were well represented at the meeting by the
438 participants from 18 countries, including 98 students.
Cross-fertilization of ultrafast concepts and techniques among the
various scientific and engineering disciplines continues to be the
primary driving force behind this successful meeting. Progress was
reported in the technology of generating ultrafast pulses, includ
ing extensions in pulse width, output power, wavelength range, and
intensity. Ultrafast spectroscopy continues to impact and expand
the knowledge base of fundamental processes in physics, chemistry,
biology, and engineering. A new series of lively, late-night panel
discussions were introduced at this meeting, re flecting the
maturing of the field into applications, while at the same time
keeping a strong interest in fundamentals. Acknowledgements. Many
people and organizations contributed to the success of this
meeting. The members of the program committee deserve special
thanks for reviewing all the papers and organizing the final
program. The staff of the Opti cal Society of America very expertly
took care of the conference arrangements."
This volume contains papers presented at the Tenth International
Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena held at Del Coronado, California,
from May 28 to June 1, 1996. The biannual Ultrafast Phenomena
Conferences provide a forum for the discussion of the latest
advances in ultrafast optics and their applications in science and
engineering. The Ultrafast Phenomena Conference maintains a broad
international representation with 391 participants from 18
countries, including 94 students attending the conference. The
multidisciplinary character of this meeting provides a
cross-fertilization of ultrafast concepts and techniques among
various scientific and engineering disciplines. The enthusiasm of
the paticipants, the originality and quality of the papers that
they presented, and the beautiful conference site combined to
produce a very successful and enjoyable meeting. Progress was
reported in the technology of generating ultrashort pulses, in
cluding new techniques for improving laser-pulse duration, output
power, wave length range, and compactness. Ultrafast spectroscopy
continues to impact on and expand the knowledge base of fundamental
processes in physics, chemistry, biol ogy and engineering. In
addition ultrafast phenomena now extends to real-world applications
in biology, high-speed communication, and material diagnostics. The
Tenth Ultrafast Phenomena Conference was highlighted by a 'special
event' in which the developments of the previous conferences were
reviewed in a panel discussion by G. Mourou, E. Ippen, A. Migus, A.
Laubereau and R. Hochstrasser."
