課程大綱
Outline
本課程旨在介紹超短(10^-12~10^-15秒)雷射光脈衝之產生、量測、傳播、色散管理、及其潛在應用。此一技術提供的超精密時間解析度可用以觀測前所未知的短暫分子動態。所產生之巨大尖峰功率(>10^15瓦)足以突破原子基本引力，或驅動物質產生顯著之非線性效應，從而獲得 一系列新的(如中紅外光、極紫外光)同調光譜成份。
This course is aimed to introduce the generation, measurement, propagation, dispersion management and applications of ultra-short laser pulses in the picosecond to femtosecond regime (10^-12~10^-15 second). The ultra-high time resolution enables diagnosis of transient molecular dynamics. The tremendous peak power (>10^15 Watt) is sufficient to break atomic bonds or induce a broadband of coherent spectrum from the mid-infrared to extreme ultraviolet via significant non-linear effects.

This course is an introduction to the generation, measurement, transmission and dispersion of an ultra-short laser pulse (10^-12~10^-15 second) and its potential applications. The technique offers the ultra-high time resolution to observe an unprecedentedly transient molecular dynamic. The high-peak power (>10^15 Watt) is sufficient to break through the atomic attraction or makes the substance to generate the significant non-linear reaction. Then, it can obtain a series of new homologous spectra such as mid-infrared light and extreme ultraviolet.
The prerequisites of this course are Fourier Transformation, Electromagnetic-plane wave and the ability of the mathematical software (ex: Matlab).
