Abstract The quest for ever‐shorter optical pulses has been ongoing over half a century. Although few‐cycle have generated nearly 40 years, pulse lengths below the single‐cycle limit remained an elusive goal long time. For this purpose, waveform synthesizers, generating high‐energy, high‐average‐power via coherent combination of multiple covering different spectral regions, recently developed. They allow unprecedented control waveforms, spanning extremely broad range from ultraviolet to infrared. Such allows steering strong‐field interactions with increased degrees freedom. When driving high‐harmonic generation, tailored waveforms can produce bright attosecond trains and even isolated tunable spectra up soft X‐ray range. In paper recent progress on parametric hollow‐core fiber synthesizers is discussed. Newly developed seeding schemes; absolute, relative, phase measurement; techniques suitable are described. serial parallel synthesis based Ti:sapphire Ytterbium laser systems their latest applications in generation gaseous solid media, science, wakefield acceleration

The generation and direct time-domain sampling of ultrashort ultra-broadband laser pulses are at the forefront time-resolved spectroscopy attosecond science. Although high-energy (>1 μJ) single-cycle low repetition rates (∼kHz) can be generated by many techniques like spectral broadening field synthesis characterized using nonlinear optical techniques, realizing such capabilities for low-energy (<1 nJ) high-repetition-rate (∼80 MHz) is more challenging. Here, we demonstrate carrier-envelope-phase (CEP)-stable, (∼1.1 octave bandwidth) a very high rate three-channel light-field-synthesizer spanning visible near-infrared frequency range. electric fields were directly sampled in an on-chip nanodevice. We show that electron tunneling currents measured as function delay between two slightly carrier-frequency-shifted kHz) nanodevice enable pulses. demonstrated measurement light pave way broad applications near-field ultrafast spectroscopies light-wave electronics.
