Based on the authors' experimental work over the last 25 years, this self-contained book presents basic concepts, state-of-the-art applications, and future trends in optical, atomic, and molecular physics. It gives a wide-ranging, balanced overview of the areas revolutionized by optical frequency comb synthesizers based on femtosecond mode-locked lasers. It provides all the background information on the main kinds of laser sources and techniques, offers a detailed account of the most recent results obtained for time- and frequency-domain applications of lasers, and develops the theoretical framework necessary for understanding the experimental applications.
