The control of luminous radiation has extremely important implications for modern and future
technologies as well as in medicine. In this Review, we detail chemical structures and their …

Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of
the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this acclaimed text was extensively …

This paper will review the coupling by stimulated Raman scattering between two laser fields
and its dependence on the spectral properties of those fields. We describe the coupling in …

A theory of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is presented which treats in a unified manner
the buildup of SRS from spontaneous Raman scattering and the spatial propagation which …

A 20-nsec Nd: YAG laser pulse is compressed to a 2-nsec phase-conjugated pulse in a
tapered glass tube filled with methane at 130 atm. A comparison with stimulated-Raman …

Laser gain materials possessing high thermal conductivity and robust mechanical properties
are key prerequisites for high power lasers. We show that diamond, when configured as a …

The absolute Raman gain for the Q (1) vibrational Raman transition in H_2 at 4155 cm^− 1
has been measured at pump (Stokes) wavelengths of 532 (683), 477 (594), and 307 (351) …

The recently proposed scheme of so-called “fast compression” of laser pulses in plasma can
increase peak laser intensities by 10 5 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4448 (1999)]. The compression …

Laser energies and powers, significantly much higher than available now through the most
advanced chirped pulse amplifiers, might be achieved in much smaller devices. The working …

Multimode fibres provide a promising platform for boosting the capacity of fibre links and the
output power of fibre lasers. The complex spatiotemporal dynamics of multimode beams …
