Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and black phosphorus (BP) are typical 2D
materials with layer-dependent bandgaps, which are emerging as promising saturable …

Thin‐disk lasers (TDLs) are best known for their high‐power continuous‐wave industrial
applications. Nonetheless, the thin‐disk geometry is also highly attractive for ultrafast laser …

Sesquioxides combine excellent thermomechanical properties, comparably low phonon
energies and a strong crystal field, making them ideally suited for broad band emitting high …

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 …

The paper summarizes the recent achievements in the area of ultrafast fiber lasers mode-
locked with so-called low-dimensional nanomaterials: graphene, topological insulators …

We investigate Kerr lens mode locking of Yb: Lu_2O_3 thin-disk laser oscillators operating
in the sub-100-fs regime. Pulses as short as 35 fs were generated at an average output …

We experimentally investigate the limits of pulse duration in a Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:
YAG thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. Thanks to its excellent mechanical and optical …

A high-power (> 1 W) pure Kerr-lens mode-locked bulk Yb: KGW laser with multimode fiber-
coupled diode pumping was demonstrated. The laser delivered 240 fs pulses with 2.3 W of …

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

We report on the demonstration of a pure Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: CALYO laser which
can directly deliver sub-200 fs pulses with more than 20-W average power. With an incident …
