ABSTRACT
Waveform Nonlinear Optics aims to study and control the nonlinear interactions of matter with custom-tailored sub-optical-cycle waveforms. In this regime, the time-evolution of the optical electric field deviates strongly from a sinusoidal carrier-wave oscillation with in a single cycle of light, so that the usual approximations of nonlinear optics break down, and new phenomena and opportunities arise. Specifically, a novel multi-channel parametric synthesizer driven by a KW-level Yb pump-laser will overcome pulse-energy and average-power bottlenecks for advanced applications. Such intense optical high-repetition-rate waveforms custom-sculpted within an optical cycle open up new horizons for controlling strong-field interactions in atoms, molecules, solids and nanostructures.
