We present a high-power, MHz-repetition-rate, phase-stable femtosecond laser system based on a phase-stabilized Ti:Sa oscillator and a multi-stage Yb-fiber chirped-pulse power amplifier. A 10-nm band around 1030 nm is split from the 7-fs oscillator output and serves as the seed for subsequent amplification by 54 dB to 80 W of average power. The µJ-level output is spectrally broadened in a solid-core fiber and compressed to ~30 fs with chirped mirrors. A pulse picker prior to power amplification allows for decreasing the repetition rate from 74 MHz by a factor of up to 4 without affecting the pulse parameters. To compensate for phase jitter added by the amplifier to the feed-forward phase-stabilized seeding pulses, a self-referencing feed-back loop is implemented at the system output. An integrated out-of-loop phase noise of less than 100 mrad was measured in the band from 0.4 Hz to 400 kHz, which to the best of our knowledge corresponds to the highest phase stability ever demonstrated for high-power, multi-MHz-repetition-rate ultrafast lasers. This system will enable experiments in attosecond physics at unprecedented repetition rates, it offers ideal prerequisites for the generation and field-resolved electro-optical sampling of high-power, broadband infrared pulses, and it is suitable for phase-stable white light generation.

Inorganic luminescent materials hold great promise for optoelectronic device applications, yet the limited efficiency and poor thermal stability of oxide-based deep-red emitting phosphors hinder the advancement of plant lighting technologies. Herein, a simple compositional engineering strategy is proposed to stabilize the phase, boost external quantum efficiency (EQE) and enhance thermal stability. The chemical modification of the PO tetrahedron in NaMgPO:Eu by incorporating SiO lowers the formation energy, leading to the generation of pure olivine phase and increasing the EQE from 27% to 52%, setting a record for oxide deep-red phosphors.

Action spectroscopies use a readout created by the action of light on the molecules or material rather than optical absorption. Ultrafast 2D photocurrent and 2D fluorescence spectroscopies are two such action spectroscopies. Despite their utility, multidimensional action spectroscopies suffer from a background created by incoherent population mixing.

Article Synopsis
- Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells have quickly improved in efficiency but struggle with stability under heat and light due to weak hydrogen bonds.
- Researchers are exploring all-inorganic alternatives using cesium (Cs) to enhance stability, but these cells often transition to less effective yellow phases at room temperature, reducing their performance.
- The article discusses strategies for stabilizing the effective black phase of cesium lead iodide (CsPbI) and highlights ongoing challenges in developing the tin-based equivalent (CsSnI) for sustainable and efficient solar cell applications.

The manipulation of solid states using intense infrared or terahertz light fields is a pivotal area in contemporary ultrafast photonics research. While conventional circular polarization has been well explored, the potential of counterrotating bicircular light remains widely underexplored, despite growing interest in theory. In the mid-infrared or multi-terahertz region, experimental challenges lie in difficulties in stabilizing the relative phase between two-color lights and the lack of available polarization elements.

The inorganic perovskite CsPbI shows promising photophysical properties for a range of potential optoelectronic applications but is metastable at room temperature. To address this, Br can be alloyed into the X-site to create compositions such as CsPbIBr that are stable at room temperature but have bandgaps >1.9 eV - severely limiting solar applications.
