Widespread concerns over the impact of human activity on the environment have resulted in
a desire to replace artificial functional materials with naturally derived alternatives. As such …

Intracavity semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM's) offer unique and exciting
possibilities for passively pulsed solid-state laser systems, extending from Q-switched …

We demonstrate the first compact photonic flywheel with sub-fs time jitter (averaging times
up to 10 μ s) at the quantum-noise limit of a monolithic fiber resonator. Such quantum-limited …

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 …

Next‐generation implantable computational devices require long‐term‐stable electronic
components capable of operating in, and interacting with, electrolytic surroundings without …

The antiresonant Fabry–Perot saturable semiconductor absorber (A-FPSA) has been
successfully used to passively mode lock many different solid-state lasers. The main …

Cavities concentrate light and enhance its interaction with matter. Confining to microscopic
volumes is necessary for many applications but space constraints in such cavities limit the …

Open-access optical microcavities are emerging as an original tool for light-matter studies
thanks to their intrinsic tunability and the direct access to the maximum of the electric field …

The penetration depth in a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) co-determines the resonance
condition, quality factor, and mode volume of DBR-based microcavities. Recent studies have …

Optomechanical systems couple an electromagnetic cavity to a mechanical resonator which
typically is a solid object. The range of phenomena accessible in these systems depends on …
