Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media leads
to a specific propagation regime, termed femtosecond filamentation, which in turn produces …

Abstract Titanium: sapphire (Ti: sapphire) lasers have been essential for advancing
fundamental research and technological applications, including the development of the …

We provide a critical review of the fundamental concepts of Kerr lens mode-locking (KLM),
along with a detailed description of the experimental considerations involved in the …

Silicon has attracted great interest as a platform for both linear and nonlinear integrated
photonics for over 15 years. While its primary applications have been in the telecom window …

We report a comprehensive investigation of femtosecond continuum generation in single
crystals of several common laser host materials. The absolute spectral energy density, pulse …

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 …

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 …

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), such as tungsten disulfide (WS2), are layered
materials with strong in-plane bonding and weak out-of-plane interactions enabling …

Experiment and modeling show that the refractive index nonlinearity can significantly
degrade the contrast of a chirped-pulse amplifier seeded with a pulse and a single …

We generate white light supercontinuum from slightly sub-picosecond pulses at 1.03 µm and
515 nm. We compare the spectra and stability for various crystals, focusing conditions and …
