Physics Colloquium: Strong-Field Physics Using Waveform-Controlled Mid-Infrared Pulses

Date: March 9, 2018 Time: 1:30-2:30pm Location: PSB 160/161 Speaker: Kyung-Han Hong (MIT) Title: Strong-Field Physics Using Waveform-Controlled Mid-Infrared Pulses Abstract: One of the unique features of strong-field light-matter interactions is its dependence on electric field, E(t), of driving laser pulses unlike typical nonlinear interactions that rely on laser intensity profile, I(t). This enables to control tunnel-ionized free electrons …
