spectroscopic method called ultrafast laser spectroscopy uses ultrashort pulse lasers to analyze dynamics on very short time scales (attoseconds to nanoseconds). The behavior of charge carriers, atoms, and molecules is studied using various techniques. There are several aspects of the laser pulse that must be understood to perform reliable spectroscopic measurements, including pulse duration, pulse energy, spectral phase, and spectral shape.

Through measurements of autocorrelation or cross-correlation with another pulse that has been thoroughly characterized, information regarding pulse duration can be obtained. Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) and spectrum phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction are two techniques that allow for a thorough analysis of pulses (SPIDER). The goal of pulse shaping is to precisely alter the pulses coming from the source, including their amplitude, phase, and length.

To increase the intensity of a pulse, chirped pulse amplification which consists of a pulse stretcher, amplifier, and compressor is typically used. During the amplification, it won't alter the pulse's duration or phase. By initially chirping the pulse in a nonlinear material and broadening the spectrum, pulse compression (shortening the pulse length) is made possible.

A compressor is then used to compensate for the chirp. In this situation, a fiber compressor is typically utilized. Optical modulators that subject a laser beam to Fourier transformations are referred to as pulse shapers. Modulators are also known as intensity modulators, phase modulators, polarization modulators, and spatial light modulators depending on which aspect of light is regulated.

Optical modulators are classified as Acoustic-optic modulators, Liquid crystal modulators, Electro-optic modulators, etc. depending on the modulation method. Each is devoted to a separate set of uses. By ionizing and collisional an electron, high harmonic generation (HHG), a nonlinear process, transforms intense laser energy from one single frequency to high harmonics of that frequency.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
