Ebook: Ultrafast Phenomena XIV: Proceedings of the 14th International Conference, Niigata, Japan, July 25–30, 2004

Ultrafast Phenomena XIV presents the latest advances in ultrafast science, including ultrafast laser and measurement technology as well as studies of ultrafast phenomena. Pico-, femto-, and atosecond processes relevant in physics, chemistry, biology and engineering are presented. Ultrafast technology is now having a profound impact within a wide range of applications, among them imaging, material diagnostics, and transformation and high-speed optoelectronics. This book summarizes results presented at the 14^th Ultrafast Phenomena Conference and reviews the state of the art in this important and rapidly advancing field.
