In this work, surface-enhanced Raman spectra of ten genomic DNAs extracted from leaf tissues of different grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties, respectively, are analyzed in the wavenumber range 300–1800 cm−1. Furthermore, structural changes induc...

Recent interest in the application of mid-infrared (mid-IR) lasers has made the generation of ~3 µm ultrafast pulses a hot topic. Recently, the generation of femtosecond-scale pulses in Er3+-doped fluoride fiber lasers has been realized by nonl...

The development of graphene-based materials for optical limiting functionality is an active field of research. Optical limiting for femtosecond laser pulses in the infrared-B (IR-B) (1.4–3 μm) spectral domain has been investigated to a lesse...

Infrared (IR) microlens arrays (MLA) have attracted increasing interest for use in infrared micro-optical devices and systems. However, the beam homogenization of IR laser light is relatively difficult to achieve because most materials absorb strongl...

Silicon–germanium multilayer structures consisting of alternating Si and Ge amorphous nanolayers were annealed by ultrashort laser pulses at near-infrared (1030 nm) and mid-infrared (1500 nm) wavelengths. In this paper, we investigate the effec...

The changes that appeared in the crystal structure of a natural diamond under the influence of a pulsed femtosecond laser (525 nm) were comprehensively investigated using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and...

The reaction microscope (REMI) endstation for atomic and molecular science at the free-electron laser FLASH2 at DESY in Hamburg is presented together with a brief overview of results recently obtained. The REMI allows coincident detection of electron...

High-order harmonic generation is a nonlinear process that converts the gained energy during light-matter interaction into high-frequency radiation, thus resulting in the generation of coherent attosecond pulses in the XUV and soft x-ray regions. Her...

Mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths (2–10 μμm) open up a new paradigm for femtosecond laser–solid interactions. On a fundamental level, compared to the ubiquitous near-IR (NIR) or visible (VIS) laser interactions, MIR photon energies render semiconductors...

Amorphous silicon (α-Si) film present an inexpensive and promising material for optoelectronic and nanophotonic applications. Its basic optical and optoelectronic properties are known to be improved via phase transition from amorphous to polycr...

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are predicted to be promising one-dimensional nonlinear optical materials, but to date, only one experimental observation has been made using individual nanotubes. In this work, second harmonic generation (SHG) was ach...
