We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional
crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts …

Ultrafast lasers, which generate optical pulses in the picosecond and femtosecond range,
have progressed over the past decade from complicated and specialized laboratory systems …

In this paper, a review of fiber laser technology as relevant for applications in ultrafast optics
is given. We discuss core enabling fiber technologies, such as fiber amplifiers, all-fiber …

This paper will review and discuss pico-and femtosecond pulse generation from passively
modelocked vertical–external-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers (VECSELs). We …

Ultrashort lasers provide an important tool to probe the dynamics of physical systems at very
short time-scales, allowing for improved understanding of the performance of many devices …

Some background as well as recent progress in the development of femtosecond lasers are
discussed together with a brief outline of a few representative emergent applications in …

This work present a comprehensive discussion of the noise properties of mode-locked
lasers, with an emphasis on the effect of quantum noise in passively mode-locked solid-state …

Semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) devices have become a key component
of ultrafast passive mode-locked laser sources. Here we describe in more detail how the key …

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 …

A new regime of precision radial-velocity measurements in the search for Earth-like
exoplanets is being facilitated by high-resolution spectrographs calibrated by laser …
