Abstract :
Summary form only given. The sub-5-fs pulses are used in nonlinear optical experiments to study ultrafast chemical reaction dynamics in solutions. The high repetition rate, simplicity, and large spectral bandwidth (>500 nm) make this light source ideal for spectroscopic applications in condensed phase.
