   Few-cycle laser pulse generation and its applications : with 209 figures / ed. Kaertner F. X. - Berlin : Springer, 2004. - 448 p. : ill. - (Topics in Applid Physics ; vol. 95). - ISBN 978-3-540-20115-1.

This book covers the physics and technology of short pulse laser sources that generate pulses with widths of only а few optical cycles. Тhе basic design considerations for the different systems, such as lasers, parametric amplifiers and external compression techniques, which havе emerged over the last decade, are discussed to give researchers and graduate students а thorough introduction to this field. Тhе existence of these sources has opened тапу new fields of reseatch that were not possible before, such as UV- and EUV generation from table-top systems using high-harmonic generation, frequency metrology with unprecedented precision, high-resolution optical coherence tomography and strong-field ultrafast solid-state processes, to mention only а few. Мапу new applications will follow. Тhе book attempts to give а comprehensive, while
not excessive, introduction to this exciting, new field that serves both experienced researchers and graduate students entering the field.
