Moreover, the monograph introduces several methods to achieve power-scalability of compression and stabilization techniques. All experimental approaches are compared in detail and may serve as a guideline for developing high-power waveform controlled, few-cycle light sources which offer tremendous potential to exploit extreme nonlinear optical effects at unprecedentedly high repetition rates and to establish table-top infrared light sources with a unique combination of brilliance and bandwidth. As an example, the realization of a multi-Watt, multi-octave spanning, mid-infrared femtosecond source is described. The thesis starts with a basic introduction to the field of ultrafast laser oscillators. It subsequently presents additional details of previously published research results and establishes a connection between them. It therefore addresses both newcomers to, and experts in the field of high-power ultrafast laser development. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronics$xMaterials 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aQuantum Optics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronics$xMaterials. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 676 $a621.36 700 $aSeidel$b Marcus$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059938 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337872903321 996 $aA New Generation of High-Power, Waveform Controlled, Few-Cycle Light Sources$92509766 997 $aUNINA
