Direct Detection of Exoplanets with Future Adaptive Optics Systems
Directly imaging extrasolar planets will greatly complement the indirect methods of planet search. The next-generation adaptive-optics instruments... -
Preliminary Commissioning Results of Altair
Altair is the facility adaptive optics (AO) system of the Gemini North Telescope. It was designed and built at the National Research Council of... -
An Adaptive Optics Search for Binaries in the Orion Nebula Cluster
We report on the results of a binary survey in the outer parts of the Orion Nebula Cluster, 0.7 to 2 pc from the cluster center. The results should... -
Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Proto-Planetary Nebulae
We present 3 μm spectroscopy of three carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae. Spectroscopy with high spatial resolution afforded by the Subaru adaptive... -
Coupled Adaptive Optics and Integral Field Spectroscopy of Pre-Main-Sequence Stars
We present observations done with the OASIS instrument and the PUE’O adaptive optics system at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. By combining the... -
PIGS - A New Wavefront Sensor Concept for ELTs
Adaptive Optics Systems for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT) will need new wavefront sensing concepts to deploy their full capabilities. In this... -
The Nucleus of Centaurus A with NACO
At less than 4 Mpc away, Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is the nearest massive elliptical galaxy, the nearest radio galaxy, and the nearest recent merger. It... -
Dissipative Solitons in Reaction-Diffusion Systems
A major goal of natural science is to understand the formation of spatiallyextended patterns in all kinds of physical, chemical, biological and other... -
Dissipative Solitons in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
We present recent experimental and numerical results for dissipative propagating spatial solitons in periodically-patterned semiconductor optical... -
Solitary Waves of Nonlinear Nonintegrable Equations
Our goal is to find closed form analytic expressions for the solitary waves of nonlinear nonintegrable partial differential equations. The suitable... -
Spatial Resonator Solitons
Spatial solitons can exist in various kinds of nonlinear optical resonators with and without amplification. In past years, different types of these... -
Stability Analysis of Pulses via the Evans Function: Dissipative Systems
Linear stability analysis of pulses is considered in this review chapter. The Evans function is an analytic tool whose zeros correspond to... -
Dissipative Solitons in the Complex Ginzburg-Landau and Swift-Hohenberg Equations
We explain the meaning of dissipative solitons and place them in a framework which shows their use in various scientific fields. Indeed, dissipative... -
Dissipative Solitons in Pattern-Forming Nonlinear Optical Systems: Cavity Solitons and Feedback Solitons
Many dissipative optical systems support patterns. Dissipative solitons are generally found where a pattern coexists with a stable unpatterned state.... -
Temporal Multi-Soliton Complexes Generated by Passively Mode-Locked Lasers
We review various experimental observations of multiple pulsing in passively mode-locked lasers and give several possible mechanisms that have been... -
4×4 Transfer Matrix T p for Isotropic Films
Isotropic materials can be treated much easier and by simpler equations than through the 4×4 approach. However, the isotropic solution within the 4×4... -
Drilling of Metals
The use of ultrashort laser pulses for drilling of metals is highly promising with respect to reduced melt production and recast formation, as well... -
Interaction with Atmosphere
Contrary to longer-pulsed laser irradiation, ultrashort laser pulses in the femto- and low picosecond-pulse duration domains are expected to be too... -
Dynamics of a Photoexcited Hydrated Electron
Combining photon-echo and frequency-resolved pump-probe techniques with extremely short laser pulses that consist of only few optical cycles, we... -
Optical Frequency-Comb Generation and High-Resolution Laser Spectroscopy
The new alliance between the time and frequency domains in laser spectroscopy has made it possible to develop ultrafast counting schemes that can...
