Abstract: The quest for ever-shorter optical pulses has been ongoing for over half a century. Although few-cycle pulses have been generatedfor nearly forty years, pulse lengths below the single-cycle limit have remained an elusive goal for a long time. For this purpose, opticalwaveform synthesizers, generating high-energy, high-average-power pulses via coherent combination of multiple pulses covering differentspectral regions, have been recently developed. They allow unprecedented control over the generated optical waveforms, spanning anextremely broad spectral range from ultraviolet to infrared. Such control allows for steering strong-field interactions with increaseddegrees of freedom. When driving high-harmonic generation, tailored waveforms can produce bright attosecond pulse trains and evenisolated attosecond pulses with tunable spectra up to the soft X-ray range. In this paper, which follows the previous review in the samejournal from Manzoni et al., recent progress on parametric and hollow-core fiber waveform synthesizers is discussed. Newly developedseeding schemes, absolute, relative and spectral phase measurement and control techniques suitable for synthesizers are described. Theprogress on serial and parallel waveform synthesis based on Ti:sapphire and Ytterbium laser systems and their latest applications inhigh-harmonic generation in gaseous and solid media, attosecond science and laser wakefield acceleration is discussed.
