Aarya, Lakshya and Jan were “running for Jena” in the 14th Jena Company Run as part of the Microverse in Motion team. The run took place in the Ernst-Abbe sports park in Jena. With sunshine and pleasant temperatures around 19°C the perfect conditions for an after-work run for 3500 participants were given.

Electro-optic sampling (EOS) has advanced to an indispensable tool in various areas of optics, photonics and laser physics, including ultrafast pump-probe, time-domain and frequency-comb spectroscopies, quantum optics, high-harmonic generation, and attosecond science. In their recent paper [1], leaders in the field provide a review of the field, surveying the mode of operation as well as…

Optical electric-field oscillations are now experimentally accessible in the THz-to-PHz frequency range. Their measurement delivers the most comprehensive information content attainable by optical spectroscopy – if performed with high sensitivity. In their new paper, scientists at the Laboratory for Lightwave Metrology and at Attoworld report electro-optic sampling (EOS) of broadband infrared waves with a record…
