商品簡介
An updated and translated edition of the monograph originally published in Russian in 1988, examining one of the most significant advances in modern laser physics the development of methods for generating and shaping optical pulses a few femtoseconds long. The authors explore the result of current research, including recent theoretical and experimental investigations of linear and nonlinear propagation of ultrashort laser pulses. In addition, they scrutinize those emerging branches of optics, x-ray physics, and plasma physics that result from progress in the science and technology of high-power femtosecond pulses.
