In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ursula Keller mainly focuses on Laser, Optics, Optoelectronics, Ultrashort pulse and Attosecond. Her Semiconductor laser theory and Femtosecond study, which is part of a larger body of work in Laser, is frequently linked to Thin disk, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her research investigates the link between Optics and topics such as Amplifier that cross with problems in Optical amplifier and Pulse compression.

Ursula Keller has included themes like Laser beams and Mode-locking in her Optoelectronics study. The Ultrashort pulse study combines topics in areas such as Pulse, Vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting-laser and Saturable absorption. The various areas that she examines in her Attosecond study include Extreme ultraviolet, Phase, Computational physics, Atomic physics and Electron.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Attosecond dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect in polycrystalline diamond (135 citations)
  • Dual-comb spectroscopy of water vapor with a free-running semiconductor disk laser (116 citations)
  • Anisotropic photoemission time delays close to a Fano resonance (85 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Laser
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Optics

Ursula Keller mainly investigates Laser, Optics, Ultrashort pulse, Attosecond and Optoelectronics. Her Pulse duration study in the realm of Laser interacts with subjects such as Thin disk. She regularly links together related areas like Amplifier in her Optics studies.

Her Ultrashort pulse research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Waveguide, Dispersion, Disk laser, Active laser medium and Picosecond. Her Attosecond study combines topics in areas such as Extreme ultraviolet, Electron localization function, Electron, Photoionization and Phase. Her work in Optoelectronics addresses issues such as Bandwidth-limited pulse, which are connected to fields such as Pulse.
