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

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

Single-cavity dual-comb lasers are a new class of ultrafast lasers that have a wide possible
application space including pump–probe sampling, optical ranging, and gas absorption …

5. Optical Solitons in Fibers Page 1 5. Optical Solitons in Fibers In this chapter we describe
various properties of optical solitons. 5.1 Soliton Solutions and the Results of Inverse Scattering …

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 …

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 report the demonstration of an electro‐optic sampling technique that allows for the
detection of freely propagating terahertz radiation. Coherent sampling is performed in a …

In recent years, optical second-harmonic generation has matured into a versatile and
powerful technique for probing the electronic and structural properties of buried solid–solid …

Conventional optics in the radio frequency (rf) through far-infrared (FIR) regime cannot
resolve microscopic features since resolution in the far field is limited by wavelength. With …

Dual optical frequency combs are an appealing solution to many optical measurement
techniques due to their high spectral and temporal resolution, high scanning speed, and …
