Abstract

During the last several years major advances in ultrafast laser technology have taken place. In the earlier days of this field femtosecond lasers had to be painstakingly built from scratch in the laboratory. Today, much better lasers are available commercially. State-of-the-art titanium sapphire lasers routinely generate 100 fs pulses. Amplification to millijoule pulses at repetition rates of 1 kHz (and microjuole pulses at 250 kHz) is now routine using titanium sapphire regenerative amplifiers. These advances in laser technology have greatly increased the sensitivity of femtosecond spectroscopy. As a result, powerful new ultrafast spectroscopic methods have been developed.
