Recent improvements in the performance of light sources,
i.e., reduction in pulse length and increases in wavelength
range and power levels, have led toultrafast technology
becoming a basic tool in a wide variety of scientific
fields. This book presents the very latest developments in
the rapidly rxpanding field of ultrashofrt lase pulses and
their applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and
artificial devices. It provides the most up-to-date record
of current research and references in the field of ultrafast
phenomena.
