Novel sources of near- and mid-infrared femtosecond pulses for applications in gas sensing, pulse shaping and material processing

In this thesis the design, construction process and the performance of two femtosecond optical parametric oscillators and one second–harmonic generation femtosecond pulse shaper is described. One oscillator was applied to gas sensing while potential applications of other devices are outlined. ATi:sa...
