Ultrashort Light Pulses

Ultrashort Light Pulses

Recently, scientists have generated optical pulses with durations close to the fundamental limits set by the properties of light. Techniques for shaping light have created optical pulses that are only six femtoseconds in duration. Optical light pulses are discussed.
