Summary form only given. Generation of high intensity femtosecond light pulses in the UV regime is still a topic of scientific interest. Nowadays ultrashort light pulses down to 10 fs are routinely produced with mode-locked solid state lasers in the near IR, but a shorter wavelength regime can only...
