“…With the parameters of the employed pulse shaper and laser system, δt is about 4 ps, and this is the maximum duration for shaped pulses if interference effects with pre-or postpulses are to be avoided. Further limitations of the employed pulse shaper are detailed in [43,88,91].…”

“…By employing a LCD-SLM with two liquid crystal layers which have mutually perpendicular optical axes, a polarization pulse shaper setup can be realized which does not require interferometric stability, as both components share the same optical path. After introducing the principle of operation, two such polarization pulse shaper setups are introduced that were implemented by our group [43,91,95] and used for the experiments described in chapters 4 and 5. Fig.…”

“…3.11 was employed for the adaptive optimization experiment presented in chapter 4. The setup and the theoretical aspects of polarization shaping are presented in detail in the thesis of T. Brixner [43]. Like the phase-only pulse shaper introduced in chapter 3.4.1, the design is based on a zero-dispersion compressor in a 4 f -geometry.…”

With the invention of the laser, the chemists' dream to investigate, initiate and control chemical reactions on the molecular scale seemed to come within grasp. However, the true beginnings of the realization of this dream had to wait until the time when the boundaries on the duration of laser pulses were pushed into the picosecond to femtosecond regime, the natural timescale of nuclear motions, i.e., vibrations and rotations in molecules. While such light sources allowed, for the first time, the direct observation of molecular dynamics, the breakthrough for the control of physical or chemical processes on the atomic or molecular scale came with the advent of pulse shaping techniques that made it possible to modify these ultrashort pulses, and hence to adapt them to the involved dynamics.
