We present a compact extreme ultraviolet (XUV) source based on high-harmonic generation
(HHG) at 2.4 MHz pulse repetition rate driven from the compressed output of a mode-locked …

Ultrafast thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillators provide higher intracavity pulse energy, average
power, and peak power levels than any other femtosecond laser oscillator technology. They …

The progress achieved in the last few decades in the performance of ultrafast laser systems
with high average power has been tremendous, and continues to provide momentum to new …

We demonstrate a compact extreme ultraviolet (XUV) source based on high-harmonic
generation (HHG) driven directly inside the cavity of a mode-locked thin-disk laser oscillator …

We present a thorough investigation of surface deformation and thermal properties of high-
damage threshold large-area semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) …

We unveil a gas-lens effect in kW-class thin-disk lasers, which accounts in our experiments
for 33% of the overall disk thermal lensing. By operating the laser in vacuum, the gas lens …

We demonstrate the first self-referenced full stabilization of a diode-pumped solid-state laser
(DPSSL) frequency comb with a GHz repetition rate. The Yb: CALGO DPSSL delivers an …

We investigate experimentally the polarization dynamics of a vertical external-cavity surface-
emitting laser with a saturable absorber mirror in the cavity. We demonstrate that the …

Optical frequency combs have been revolutionizing many research areas and are finding a
growing number of real-world applications. While initially dominated by Ti: Sapphire and …
