| Research Abstract |
Ultrashort optical pulses are formed as a coherent superposition of various frequency components. Arbitrary waveform synthesis of such ultrashort pulses is enabled by controlling the phase of each frequency components independently. In this project, we have developed a technique to broaden the optical spectrum and a system which enables arbitrary pulse shaping in the mid-infrared range. This technique provides powerful tools in observing/controlling molecular structural dynamics.
