Physics colloquium-“Generating High-Intensity, Ultrashort Optical Pulses”
Green Center 924 16th Street, Golden, CO, United StatesDonna Strickland, Nobel Laureate University of Waterloo, Department of Physics & Astronomy Abstract: With the invention of lasers, the intensity of a light wave was increased by orders of magnitude over what had been achieved with a light bulb or sunlight. This much higher intensity led to new phenomena being observed, such as violet light […]
