We introduce an approach to implement full coherent control on nanometer length scales. It is based on spatio-temporal modulation of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) fields at the thick edge of a nanowedge. The SPP wavepackets propagating toward the sharp edge of this nanowedge are compressed and adiabatically concentrated at a nanofocus, forming an ultrashort pulse of local fields. The one-dimensional spatial profile and temporal waveform of this pulse are completely coherently controlled.

The shortest light pulses produced to date are of the order of a few tens of attoseconds, with central frequencies in the extreme ultraviolet range and bandwidths exceeding tens of eV. They are often produced as a train of pulses separated by half th
e driving laser period, leading in the frequency domain to a spectrum of high, odd-order harmonics. As light pulses become shorter and more spectrally wide, the widely-used approximation consisting in writing the optical waveform as a product of temporal and spatial amplitudes does not apply anymore. Here, we investigate the interplay of temporal and spatial properties of attosecond pulses. We show that the divergence and focus position of the generated harmonics often strongly depend on their frequency, leading to strong chromatic aberrations of the broadband attosecond pulses. Our argumentation uses a simple analytical model based on Gaussian optics, numerical propagation calculations and experimental harmonic divergence measurements. This effect needs to be considered for future applications requiring high quality focusing while retaining the broadband/ultrashort characteristics of the radiation.
We report a straightforward method to control main spatio-temporal couplings in a CPA laser chain system using a specially designed chromatic doublet in a divergent beam configuration. The centering of the doublet allows for the control of the spatia
l chirp of the CPA laser chain, while its longitudinal position in the divergent beam enables the control of the amount of longitudinal chromatism in a wide dynamic range. The performance of this technique is evaluated by measuring main spatio-temporal couplings with a simple method, based on an ultrafast pulse shaper, which allows for a selection of narrow windows of the spectrum.
We consider the optimal control problem of a general nonlinear spatio-temporal system described by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Theory and algorithms for control of spatio-temporal systems are of rising interest among the automatic control
community and exhibit numerous challenging characteristic from a control standpoint. Recent methods focus on finite-dimensional optimization techniques of a discretized finite dimensional ODE approximation of the infinite dimensional PDE system. In this paper, we derive a differential dynamic programming (DDP) framework for distributed and boundary control of spatio-temporal systems in infinite dimensions that is shown to generalize both the spatio-temporal LQR solution, and modern finite dimensional DDP frameworks. We analyze the convergence behavior and provide a proof of global convergence for the resulting system of continuous-time forward-backward equations. We explore and develop numerical approaches to handle sensitivities that arise during implementation, and apply the resulting STDDP algorithm to a linear and nonlinear spatio-temporal PDE system. Our framework is derived in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, and represents a discretization-agnostic framework for control of nonlinear spatio-temporal PDE systems.
We show that pulse shaping techniques can be applied to tailor the ultrafast temporal response of the strongly confined and enhanced optical near fields in the feed gap of resonant optical antennas (ROAs). Using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) s
imulations followed by Fourier transformation, we obtain the impulse response of a nano structure in the frequency domain, which allows obtaining its temporal response to any arbitrary pulse shape. We apply the method to achieve deterministic optimal temporal field compression in ROAs with reduced symmetry and in a two-wire transmission line connected to a symmetric dipole antenna. The method described here will be of importance for experiments involving coherent control of field propagation in nanophotonic structures and of light-induced processes in nanometer scale volumes.
We present an apparatus that converts every pulse of a pulsed light source to a pulse train in which the intensities of the different pulses are samples of the spatial or temporal frequency spectrum of the original pulse. In this way, the spectrum of
the incident light can be measured by following the temporal response of a single detector. The apparatus is based on multiple round-trips inside a 2f- cavity-like mirror arrangement in which the spectrum is spread on the back focal plane, where after each round-trip a small section of the spectrum is allowed to escape. The apparatus is fibre-free, offers easy wavelength range tunability, and a prototype built achieves over 10% average efficiency in the near infra red. We demonstrate the application of the prototype for the efficient measurement of the joint spectrum of a non-degenerate bi-photon source in which one of the photons is in the near infra red.
