The performance of ultrafast semiconductor disk lasers has rapidly advanced in recent
decades. The strong interest from industry for inexpensive, compact, and reliable ultrafast …

Within the last two decades, vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) have
attracted rising interest from both industry and science. They have proven to be versatile …

Dual-comb spectroscopy offers the potential for high accuracy combined with fast data
acquisition. Applications are often limited, however, by the complexity of optical comb …

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 present a 1.75-GHz self-referenceable frequency comb from a vertical external-cavity
surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) passively modelocked with a semiconductor saturable …

We present laser generation in a several-meters-long air cavity using an optically pumped
