Abstract :
Advances in high repetition-rate femtosecond laser technology for optical arbitrary waveform generation will be described. Combs spanning two octaves, from 500nm to 2μm, based on GHz modelocked Ti:sapphire and erbium-fiber lasers, have been carrier-envelope stabilized and frequency referenced.
