In nonlinear optical systems, the optical superposition principle breaks down. The system's
response (including electric polarization, current density, etc) is not proportional to the …

Three different stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) configurations in perfluorooctane were
experimentally compared to achieve the ultimate compression of~ 1.1 ns pulses from a …

One major setback in the applications of high-power solid-state lasers in areas like high
energy density physics is the beam quality that deteriorates with increasing pump power. To …

A new method of self-pumped stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) pulse compression
utilizing feedback from the rear window of an SBS-medium cell is presented. In this work, the …

In this work we demonstrate the compression of laser pulses at a high repetition rate, using
transient stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Output pulses with pulse durations close to …

Parameters including pump energy, beam waist radius, length of gain medium and beam
divergence all affect the generation threshold and output pulse characteristics of lasers that …
