Abstract

High-power ultrafast laser technology has seen extremely fast-paced progress in the last decades, giving momentum to many fields. Nowadays, laser systems delivering hundreds of watts to kilowatts of average power with pulse energies ranging from microjoules to hundreds of millijoules become increasingly available, based on fiber, slabs and disk laser geometries. In this talk, we will discuss a recent hot topic enabled by progress in high-power ultrafast laser sources, that is the demonstration of table-top sources of few-cycle THz radiation with extremely high average power – reaching a performance level which was so far restricted to accelerator facilities. We will discuss new possibilities opened by these unique sources both in research and applied fields.
