A paper is presented of artificial saturable absorbers as applied in fibre lasers. Shown are
the advantages and drawbacks of this saturable absorber type in comparison with material …

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 …

In this review paper, we describe the current state of the art to stabilize the output radiation of
ultrashort-pulse (USP) fiber lasers and analyze passive methods to reduce the magnitude of …

We report a simple and compact design of a dispersion compensated mode-locked Yb: fiber
oscillator based on a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM). The fully polarization …

Ultrashort pulse generation at the short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength ranges from 1.6 to
2.5 μ m and together with benefits of the all-fiber design has transformed lasers into an …

This article provides an overview of laser-based absorption spectroscopy applications and
discusses the parameter space and requirements of laser systems for each of these …

Nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE) is among the most advanced techniques for
obtaining ultrashort pulses with excellent optical performance. However, it is challenging to …

We report a self-starting mode-locked all-polarization-maintaining (PM) holmium (Ho)-doped
fiber oscillator operating at∼ 2.08 µm based on nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE). The …

We have demonstrated a stable and low-noise all-polarization-maintaining (PM) ultrafast
erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked via nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE) in a linear …

Femtosecond frequency combs are among the most precise measurement tools in
existence. They have applications ranging from high‐precision spectroscopy and metrology …
