    Raman gas self-organizing into deep nano-trap lattice

    Trap** or cooling molecules has rallied a long-standing effort for its impact in exploring new frontiers in physics and in finding new phase of matter for quantum technologies. Here we demonstrate a system f...

    A strong-field driver in the single-cycle regime based on self-compression in a kagome fibre

    Over the past decade intense laser fields with a single-cycle duration and even shorter, subcycle multicolour field transients have been generated and applied to drive attosecond phenomena in strong-field phys...

    Strong Field Applications of Gigawatt Self-compressed Pulses from a Kagome Fiber

    Nonlinear self-compression of 1.7-µm pulses in a gas-filled Kagome fiber down to a single cycle duration and pulse energies up to 100 µJ provides a uniquely simple driver source for high-harmonic generation an...

    Compact, stable and efficient all-fibre gas cells using hollow-core photonic crystal fibres

    Gas-phase lasers small enough to fit in a credit card or hand-held laser pointer could soon become a reality. A hollow-core photonic crystal fibre based gas cell has been developed, containing a tenth of a mic...
