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…

Our Optical Quantum Metrology group at Fraunhofer ITWM was awarded a grant of 200.000 € for joint experiments with the Fraunhofer IOF. The research goal is to test different nonlinear crystals for the generation of high-power, broadband mid-infrared radiation, driven by state-of-the-art kW-level average-power femtosecond fiber lasers at IOF. The findings are expected to benefit…

At this year’s FACCS SciX conference, Jan presented the research of the team in Jena. In the session on Novel laser based chemical sensing, Jan reported on the high-throughput field-resolved spectroscopy measurements of particles in flow and the next-generation Tm-fiber based laser for field-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The conference took place in October 2024 in the…

In the beginning of November, the group met in the charming town of Bacharach at the river Rhine for an autumn retreat. The meeting took place in the historic Stahleck Castle (German: Burg Stahleck) from the 12th century, nowadays repurposed as a hostel. The four-day workshop included scientific sessions, thesis progress and project meetings. The…
