Exploiting Laser-driven Plasma Chemistry for Ultra-high Repetition Rate Nonlinear Optics
Nonlinear optical methods play a crucial role in science and technology and enables scientists across the globe to manipulate light at will and access the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from X-rays to Terahertz (THz) waves via frequency conversion. Accessing material nonlinearities requires high input light intensity, thus novel laser sources are instrumental in advancing nonlinear optics (NLO). The first revolution in NLO was enabled by wide access to femtosecond (fs-) laser sources, that ensured sufficiently high peak powers from table-top systems to access most material nonlinearities. However, these high-peak powers are usually generated at low repetition rates below 1kHz, due to…
