Three directions are addressed:

1. Programmable Ultrafast Light

Control of temporal, spectral, spatial, and pulse-to-pulse degrees of freedom of ultrafast optical fields.

2. Few-cycle & Nonlinear Photonics

Broadband nonlinear pulse compression, waveform synthesis, and few-cycle light sources.

3. Extreme-Ultraviolet Photonics

High-harmonic generation and coherent XUV sources driven by tailored ultrafast fields.
