This Review provides an exhaustive and detailed description of ion migration phenomena
which occur inside transparent dielectric media due to the interaction with intense ultrashort …

Ultrafast laser oscillators have become ubiquitous in science and technology. For many
years, however, their pulse energy has been limited to the nanojoule regime. Applications …

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 …

We report on the fabrication of shape-controlled microchannels in fused silica by
femtosecond laser irradiation at 600 kHz repetition rate followed by chemical etching. The …

Optical waveguides have been inscribed in periodically poled lithium niobate by
femtosecond laser pulses with the multiscan technique. Second harmonic generation …

It has been recognized that the monoclinic double tungstates KY (WO 4) 2, KGd (WO 4) 2,
and KLu (WO 4) 2 possess a high potential as rare-earth-ion-doped solid-state laser …

The pulse shaping dynamics of a diode-pumped laser oscillator with active multipass cell
was studied experimentally and numerically. We demonstrate the generation of high energy …

We report on a passively mode-locked Yb: YAG thin disk laser oscillator that generates 11.3-
μJ pulses without the use of any additional external amplification. A repetition rate of 4 MHz …

This paper provides an overview of femtosecond laser microfabrication in polymeric
materials, with emphasis on lab‐on‐chip applications. Due to the nonlinear interaction of …

Femtosecond laser writing of high-quality optical waveguides by means of a compact diode-
pumped cavity-dumped Yb: glass laser oscillator is reported. Waveguides have been written …
