We demonstrate femtosecond ultrashort pulse generation by adding further positive group velocity dispersion (GVD) to compensate for the presence of positive GVD. The idea is based on the integer temporal Talbot phenomenon. The broad Raman sidebands with a frequency spacing of 10.6 THz are compressed to form a train of Fourier-transform-limited pulses by passing the sidebands through a device made of dispersive material of variable thickness.

Attosecond observations of coherent electron dynamics in molecules and nanostructures can be achieved by combining conventional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with ultrashort femtosecond laser pulses. While experimental studies in the subcycle regime are under way, a robust strong-field theory description has remained elusive. Here we devise a model based on the strong-field approximation.

The entropy mediated temperature-structure evolution has attracted significant interest, which is used for the development of functional alloys and ceramics. But such strategy has not yet been demonstrated for development of non-metallic glasses. Herein, the successful application of the entropy engineering concept to non-metallic glass to manipulate its in situ crystallization process is demonstrated.

Surface acoustic waves have emerged as one of the potential candidates for the development of next-generation wave-based information and computing technologies. For practical devices, it is essential to develop the excitation techniques for different types of surface acoustic waves, especially at higher microwave frequencies, and to tailor their frequency versus wave vector characteristics. We show that this can be done by using ultrashort laser pulses incident on the surface of a multilayer decorated with a periodic array of metallic nanodots.

Article Synopsis
- Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are promising for nanophotonics because they enable fast, photon-mediated electrical signals and exhibit high-field strength and sub-wavelength confinement, which is useful for techniques like surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
- Photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) is a cutting-edge imaging method that captures surface electric fields through ultrafast laser pulses, offering both nanometer and femtosecond resolution to study plasmonic phenomena in various materials.
- The text reviews recent advancements in PEEM for imaging and manipulating SPPs, emphasizing its significance in nanoscale and quantum materials science developments.

Photonics offers unique capabilities for quantum information processing (QIP) such as room-temperature operation, the scalability of nanophotonics, and access to ultrabroad bandwidths and consequently ultrafast operation. Ultrashort pulse sources of quantum states in nanophotonics are an important building block for achieving scalable ultrafast QIP; however, their demonstrations so far have been sparse. Here, we demonstrate a femtosecond biphoton source in dispersion-engineered periodically poled lithium niobate nanophotonics.
