Generation of submicrojoule high harmonics using a long gas jet in a two-color laser field
We have achieved very efficient high-harmonic generation in a two-color laser field using a long gas jet of He. With the optimization of laser parameters and target conditions, strong harmonics were p...

Linear optical protocol for preparation of N-photon Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state with conventional photon detectors
We propose a linear optical protocol to generate Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state of N distant photons with the certain success probability. The proposed setup involves simple linea...

We demonstrate a single-shot measurement of the transient phase modulation due to field free molecular alignment at the revival times of a rotational wave packet. The wave packet is excited by an arbitrarily polarized ultrashort laser pulse in CO2 at room temperature. With this technique the time dependence along the eigenpolarization directions of the linear susceptibility tensor, i.e., the time dependence of its principle components, can be directly observed with high sensitivity. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
