We numerically report super-flat coherent mid-infrared supercontinuum (MIR-SC) generation
in a chalcogenide As_38. 8Se_61. 2 photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The dispersion and …

We review a novel class of femtosecond Cr 2+-doped ZnSe and ZnS lasers, which operates
in a very important for applications wavelength range between 2 and 3.5 μm and which …

We report what is to our knowledge a new source of femtosecond pulses in the mid-infrared,
based on a Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Tm^ 3+: YLF laser at 2303 nm. An undoped ZnSe …

Ultrabroadband infrared transition metal ion-doped solid-state lasers have come of age and
are increasingly being used in trace gas monitoring, remote sensing, telecommunications …

We review the latest breakthroughs in ultrafast fiber laser technology in the mid-IR
wavelength range≥ 2 μm. In particular, we concentrate on two novel laser systems built …
