Abstract

The development of lasers and of femtosecond laser pulses provides many examples, how science and technology mutually reinforce each other. A brief historical overview is presented of this synergy between curiosity-driven and goal-oriented research in this field of optics, which supports the current activity in pulsed laser-materials interactions.
