  • Sampling neonatal breath for infrared spectroscopy

    Non-invasive diagnostics based on breath analysis have advanced significantly in recent years. However, collecting adequate samples remains a major challenge, especially for newborns and vulnerable patients in critical care units. To address this, scientists at the Laboratory of Lightwave Metrology, in collaboration with the University Hospital at Technical University Munich and University Clinic Essen, have…

  • Infrared waveforms with attosecond precision

    Electro-optic sampling (EOS) of infrared electric fields has recently set sensitivity and dynamic-range records in broadband molecular vibrational spectroscopy. In a joint effort of scientists at the Laboratory of Lightwave Metrology and Attoworld, the team has demonstrated a new, rapid EOS acquisition technique, having the ultrahigh stability of infrared waveforms generated by intrapulse difference-frequency mixing…
