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

In its 60 years of existence, the field of nonlinear optics has gained momentum especially
over the past two decades thanks to major breakthroughs in material science and …

We present an ultrafast thin disk laser that generates an average output power of 275 W,
which is higher than any other modelocked laser oscillator. It is based on the gain material …

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 semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode-locked thin-disk
laser generating 80 μJ of pulse energy without additional amplification. This laser oscillator …

Ultrafast thin disk laser oscillators achieve the highest average output powers and pulse
energies of any mode-locked laser oscillator technology. The thin disk concept avoids …

Optically pumped passively modelocked semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) provide superior
performance in average output power, a broad range of operation wavelengths, and …

We present for the first time to the best of our knowledge a systematic study of lifetime and
damage of semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) designed for operation in …

We report a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM)-modelocked thin-disk laser
oscillator delivering a record 350-W average output power with 940-fs, 39-µJ pulses at 8.88 …

We report a versatile way of controlling the unsaturated loss, modulation depth and
saturation fluence of graphene-based saturable absorbers (GSAs), by changing the …
