Lecture

Nonlinear Effects in Laser Systems

Description

This lecture covers the generation of ultra-short laser pulses, focusing on nonlinear effects such as self-modulation, the optical Kerr effect, and group speed dispersion. It explains the principles behind gas lasers, dye lasers, and their applications in pulse compression and frequency generation. The instructor discusses the interaction of dye molecules with electronic, vibrational, and rotational states, as well as the synchronization of laser systems for efficient pulse amplification.
