We demonstrate a compact mid-infrared (mid-IR) radiation source based on difference
frequency generation (DFG) in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The system …

The paper describes practical application of pulsed microchip laser generating at 1535-nm
wavelength to a laser rangefinder. The complete prototype of a laser rangefinder was built …

This study presents an eye-safe, single-mode, nanosecond-pulsed, and all-fiber laser
source with master-oscillator-power-amplifier configuration at 1 550 nm that is suitable for …

A new compact and cost-effective instrument for dynamic characterization of ultrawide
dynamic range photodetectors is presented. The instrument is an optical pulse shaper (OPS) …

We report on high-energy nanosecond-pulsed fiber master oscillator power amplifier
(MOPA) systems seeded by semiconductor laser diodes at 2 μm incorporating arbitrary …

This research proposed a novel pulse-shaping design for directly shaping distorted pulses
after the amplification. Based on the principle of the design we made a pulse shaper. With …

A temporal deformation of nanosecond laser pulses occurring during an amplification
process in a two-stage erbium-doped fiber amplifier operating in saturation is presented. We …

In this paper, we present a novel mechanism for the generation of laser pulses based on the
phenomenon of thermocavitation. Thermocavitation bubbles were generated within a glass …
