Lasers & Sources

Terahertz pulses enhance generation of attosecond light bursts
High-order harmonics produced by co-propagating laser and terahertz pulses in noble gases enable shorter attosecond pulses from the extreme UV domain of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Lasers and telescopes now on the drawing board can slow pieces of loose material encircling Earth so that they re-enter the atmosphere.
