Vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) are the most versatile laser
sources, combining unique features such as wide spectral coverage, ultrashort pulse …

The performance of ultrafast semiconductor disk lasers has rapidly advanced in recent
decades. The strong interest from industry for inexpensive, compact, and reliable ultrafast …

We investigate simultaneously the temporal and optical and radio-frequency spectral
properties of parametric frequency combs generated in silicon-nitride microresonators and …

Some background as well as recent progress in the development of femtosecond lasers are
discussed together with a brief outline of a few representative emergent applications in …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …

Optically pumped passively modelocked semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) provide superior
performance in average output power, a broad range of operation wavelengths, and …

We report a passively mode-locked vertical external cavity surface emitting laser (VECSEL)
producing 400 fs pulses with 4.35 kW peak power. The average output power was 3.3 W …

We report a versatile way of controlling the unsaturated loss, modulation depth and
saturation fluence of graphene-based saturable absorbers (GSAs), by changing the …

A quantum-well vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser in combination with a quantum-
well SESAM is used, to generate femtosecond pulses. The passively modelocked VECSEL …

This paper will review the recent advances in the field of ultrashort pulse generation from
optically pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (OP-VECSELs). In this …
