Research Summary
Dr. Trebino's work involves techniques for generating and measuring ultrashort laser pulses; development of devices for measuring ultrashort laser pulses; and development of novel devices for telecommunications, industry, remote sensing, and biotechnology.
Biographical Sketch
Prof. Trebino is developing techniques for generating and measuring ultrashort laser pulses, the shortest events ever created. He has developed Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG), the first technique for accurately measuring the intensity and phase vs. time of an arbitrary ultrashort laser pulse. His group is currently developing the world’s simplest device for measuring such pulses, and they are developing techniques for measuring the most complex pulses ever created. In addition, he is developing novel devices for telecommunications, industry, remote sensing, and biotechnology.
