New Publication in Optics Express

Our paper on using the change in reflectivity in materials resulting from coherent phonons as a tool for determining the spectral phase of a laser pulse has been published in Optics Express.

All data is open access and available from Zenodo

New pre-print available

Our paper "Determination and correction of spectral phase from principal component analysis of coherent phonons" is now available as a pre-print on the arXiv. 

In this work, we show a new method for determining the spectral phase of a probe pulse based on coherent phonon analysis that is useful for studying pulses used in experimental setups where direct diagnosis is not possible.

New Publication in Nature Physics

Our work using the SACLA FEL to study the dynamics of the photo-induced phase transition in VO2 when excited at low temperatures has been published in Nature Physics!

This work shows that elements beyond simple changes in the atomic potentials are needed to re-create the dynamics of the phase transition.
