    Resolving the build-up of femtosecond mode-locking with single-shot spectroscopy at 90 MHz frame rate

    Mode-locked lasers have enabled some of the most precise measurements ever performed, from attosecond time-domain spectroscopy to metrology with frequency combs. However, such extreme precision belies the comp...

    THz-Controlled Photoelectron Emission from Nanotips

    We introduce terahertz gating and streaking of photoelectron emission at a single nanostructure. The THz-near-field enhancement allows for far-reaching electron trajectory control, including phase-resolved str...

    Terahertz control of nanotip photoemission

    Nanoscale metallic tips are a useful source of electrons for material characterization. It is now shown how terahertz radiation can provide precision control and enhancement of photoelectron emission from thes...

    Real-time measurements, rare events and photon economics

    Rogue events otherwise known as outliers and black swans are singular, rare, events that carry dramatic impact. They appear in seemingly unconnected systems in the form of oceanic rogue waves, stock market cr...

    Silicon's time lens

    How can we capture ultrafast optical signals in real time? A time lens is one possibility — able to image the temporal profile of a short optical signal, analogous to a conventional lens. Such a device has now...

    Amplified wavelength–time transformation for real-time spectroscopy

    Real-time spectroscopy provides invaluable information about the evolution of dynamical processes, especially non-repetitive phenomena. Unfortunately, the continuous acquisition of rapidly varying spectra repr...

    Optical rogue waves

    Mariners have known for centuries that freak, giant waves can appear out of the blue in the ocean. The probability of encountering such a 'rogue' wave was recently found to be much larger than expected from co...
