Femtosecond Phenomena for the Terabit Age

Optical communication systems are now reaching terabit/second (one million million bits per second) data transfer rates. Coherent spectroscopy and ultrafast sampling based on femtosecond measurement techniques are used to study optical and electronic devices and materials, both for understanding the basic physics of ultrafast transistors, laser diodes and optical switches, and for creating novel concepts of all-optical switching devices based on the newly found coherent control phenomena.
