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 …

High average power femtosecond lasers have made spectacular progress in the last
decades–moving from laboratory-based systems with maximum average powers of tens of …

Semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) have been regarded as a
revolutionary technology for ultrafast mode-locked lasers, producing numerous landmark …

Fundamental and harmonic mode-locking in the dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) regime
is experimentally investigated in a net-normal-dispersion Er/Yb co-doped fiber laser based …

Dual-comb lasers are a new class of ultrafast lasers that enable fast, accurate and sensitive
measurements without any mechanical delay lines. Here, we demonstrate a 2-µm laser …

We present the detailed growth and characterization of novel GaSb-based semiconductor
saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) operating in the 2–2.4 µm spectral range. These …

We present the first modelocked backside-cooled GaSb VECSEL (Vertical External Cavity
Surface Emitting Laser) operating above. Using a two quantum well InGaSb SESAM …

Femtosecond lasers with high repetition rates are attractive for spectroscopic applications
with high sampling rates, high power per comb line, and resolvable lines. However, at long …

We compare the gain and continuous wave lasing properties of two InGaSb-based vertical
external cavity surface emitting lasers (InGaSb VECSEL) with different heat management …

A GaSb-based SEmiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirror (SESAM) enables continuous-
wave picosecond mode-locked operation with excellent stability of a polarization …
