Abstract
Ultrashort laser pulses pave the way to a variety of new possibilities both in science and in applications. Especially in the discipline of nonlinear optics, the high peak intensities of these new light systems allow to observe effects such as supercontinuum generation already at moderate average power levels. Furthermore the ultrashort time behavior of such pulses enables the investigation of effects also on an ultrashort time scale, for example in semiconductors or plasmonic metamaterials.
