We review the most recent progress in ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and fiber-
based frequency-comb sources. With the rapid progress in theory, measurement, and …

Intracavity semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAM's) offer unique and exciting
possibilities for passively pulsed solid-state laser systems, extending from Q-switched …

The use of a saturable absorber as a passive mode locker in a solid-state laser can
introduce a tendency for Q-switched mode-locked operation. We have investigated the …

Рассмотрены принципы работы и характеристики лазеров, волоконных и
микроструктурных световодов, лазерных волоконно-оптических систем, применяемых …

We investigate ultrashort pulse generation based on the fundamental soliton generation that
is stabilized by a saturable absorber. The case of an absorber with a recovery time much …

We investigate the differences in the dynamics of lasers mode-locked by fast and slow
saturable absorbers. Slow saturable absorbers can already generate almost transform …

Wave instability—the process that gives rise to turbulence in hydrodynamics—represents
the mechanism by which a small disturbance in a wave grows in amplitude owing to …

We give a comprehensive overview on passive mode locking of solid-state lasers with slow
saturable absorbers, based on analytical and numerical calculations. For picosecond lasers …

We review recent achievements with ultrafast bulk lasers and amplifiers based on Yb: YAG
and Yb: glass. Special attention is paid to those aspects of the quasi-three-level nature of …

We present a model for passively Q-switched microchip lasers and derive simple equations
for the pulse width, repetition rate, and pulse energy. We experimentally verified the validity …
