Field-Resolved Infrared Spectroscopy

The optical electric fields associated with light-matter interactions carry in-depth information on the underlying physical mechanisms. The outstanding coherence of laser light enables direct measurements of these fields on their natural (sub-)femtosecond time scales. Read more…

Nonlinear Enhancement Cavities

Resonantly excited free-space passive cavities can enhance the power of a train of femtosecond optical pulses by orders of magnitude. They boost the efficiency of otherwise inefficient frequency conversion processes, increase the sensitivity of spectroscopy, and host novel regimes of self-stabilizing pulses. Read more…

Infrared Flow Cytometry

The integration of a field-resolved spectrometer with rapid spectral acquisition and an infrared-compatible microfluidic chip has enabled the first-ever demonstration of label-free high-speed IR measurements of particles in flow. Read more…

High-Resolution Volatilome Spectroscopy

The high quantum efficiency, high dynamic range, and high linearity of field-resolved spectroscopy make it an ideal fit for quantitative linear spectroscopy of multiple gases (e. g., volatile organic compounds), with a covered concentration range of more than 8 orders of magnitude. Read more…
