The rise time of intense radiation determines the maximum field strength atoms can be
exposed to before their polarizability dramatically drops due to the detachment of an outer …

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

Self-organized solitons confined to an optical resonator would offer unique capabilities for
experiments in communication, computation and sensing with light. Here, we report the …

We review the most recent progress in ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and fiber-
based frequency-comb sources. With the rapid progress in theory, measurement, and …

One-and two-dimensional forms of carbon, carbon nanotube, and graphene, and related 2D
materials, have attracted great attention of researchers in many fields for their interesting …

A comprehensive treatment of ultrafast optics This book fills the need for a thorough and
detailed account of ultrafast optics. Written by one of the most preeminent researchers in the …

Polymer composites are one of the most attractive near‐term means to exploit the unique
properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed …

The use of a saturable absorber as a passive mode locker in a solid-state laser can
introduce a tendency for Q-switched mode-locked operation. We have investigated the …

Wide‐spectral saturable absorption (SA) has been experimentally demonstrated in two‐
dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with outstanding performance, such as low saturation …

We investigate ultrashort pulse generation based on the fundamental soliton generation that
is stabilized by a saturable absorber. The case of an absorber with a recovery time much …
