The consider include: propagation at peak power levels ranging from megawatt to terawatt level, pulse energies sub-microjoule millijoule range; self-compression, leading sub-cycle sub-femtosecond duration; self-frequency shifting due Raman effect, photoionisation plasma formation; resonant dispersive wave emission, generation tuneable few-femtosecond pulses across vacuum deep ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared spectral regions.

Dispersion plays a great role in ultrafast laser oscillators, ultrashort pulse amplifiers, and many other nonlinear optical dynamics. Therefore, dispersion measurement is crucial for device characterization, system design dynamics investigation therein. In this work, we demonstrate versatile approach, i.e., Kalman filtering-aided white-light interferometry, group delay (GDD) characterization. Extended filter adopted to track the cosine-like interferogram, eliminate unintended bias envelope, providing nearly ideal phase retrieval GDD estimation. The range could span from tens of fs 2 ps , with an uncertainty about 0.1%, enabling precise diverse components, ranging millimeter-thick glass slide highly dispersive chirped fiber Bragg gratings. Benefited by simplicity, convenient setup, easy operation as well relatively low cost, approach would help photonic management laboratory work plant.

Four-wave mixing (FWM) in gas-filled hollow-core capillaries, a nonlinear optical process that mixes signal and pump photon frequencies to generate idler frequency photons, offers method for precise spectral phase transfer from at ultrashort timescales extreme powers. However, this regime is challenged by competing linear dynamics, leading significant trade-offs between conversion efficiency. Our computational investigation focuses on the upconversion of femtosecond pulses infrared (IR) ultraviolet (UV), range notoriously difficult manipulate. We explore an intermediate energy strikes optimal balance FWM-mediated phase-transfer fidelity By adjusting ratios profiles input signal, we achieve efficiencies approximately 5-15% while maintaining effective quasi-linear transfer. These findings will contribute establishing first-principles scaling laws essential applications such as high-precision imaging, spectroscopy, quantum transduction, distributed entangled interconnects, facilitating advanced control ultrafast photonic electronic wavepackets materials with unprecedented spatial temporal precision.
