Abstract

This chapter focuses on recent progresses in the leading femtosecond laser technology. Few-cycle pulse generation based on Ti:sapphire laser is reviewed, and this has led to precise carrier-envelope phase control which is crucial in optical frequency metrology and single attosecond pulse generation by high harmonic generation. The advanced concept of passive and active synchronization between two-color femtosecond lasers has the potential to Fourier synthesizing an optical electric field and to generate an attosecond pulse train. In additional, the technology of chirped pulse amplification boost ultrashort pulses to an unprecedented peak power which is a significant issue in high field physics. With the state of the art of management of femtosecond laser pulse, we enable to open the discovery gate with the light field of covering ultrafast process, ultrabroaden spectrum, ultrastable metrology and ultraintense phenomena.
