Sentences with phrase «studying ultrafast lasers»

Not exact matches

In a combined experimental and theoretical study on ultrafast excitation of atoms in intense short pulse laser fields scientists of the Max Born Institute succeeded to show that the prevailing and seemingly disparate intuitive pictures usually used to describe interaction of atoms with intense laser fields can be ascribed to a single nonlinear process.

Free - electron lasers have opened new frontiers in studying materials and chemistry at the nanoscale and beyond, and Filippetto said he hopes to pave new ground with HiRES, too, using a technique known as «ultrafast electron diffraction,» or UED, that is similar to X-ray diffraction.

There are tradeoffs in using X-rays vs. electrons to study ultrafast processes at ultrasmall scales, he noted, though «even if the capabilities are similar, it's worth pursuing» because of the smaller size and lesser cost of machines like APEX and HiRES compared to X-ray free - electron lasers.
