Abstract

Ultrafast processes which are spatially inhomogeneous are best studied by optical techniques which provide simultaneous temporal and spatial resolution. The ultrafast microscope developed in our lab provides picosecond time resolved images with micrometer scale spatial resolution. The principles of ultrafast microscopy, the apparatus itself, and the applications of this apparatus to several important processes, including polymer ablation and dynamic laser beam distortion, are described herein.
