New pico- and femtosecond laser based sources: from the Infra-Red to the XUV
In this paper, we review a number of recent developments concerning laser or laser-based sources generating pico- or subpicosecond pulses of light at wavelengths now ranging from the mid Infra-Red (50 um) to the XUV (11.9 nm). Those include the...

Control of the effects of crystal dispersion at different orders in the mixing of three phase-matched waves on a 5- to 100-fs time scale
A number of manners to obtain first-order achromatic phase matching of both type I and type II are presented and the most advantageous ones are identified to generate high-spectral quality 100-fs pulses by either parametric generation or...

Nonlinear optics of the thin-film quasiwaveguide amplifier: applications to directional switching in the optical communication systems
We examine nonlinear optical effects in the active medium of the thin-film quasiwaveguide amplifier-oscillator with injection of the external signal. The injection locking has been obtained in the case when both the frequency and the direction...
