The rise in output power from rare-earth-doped fiber sources over the past decade, via the
use of cladding-pumped fiber architectures, has been dramatic, leading to a range of fiber …

Ultrafast fiber lasers have gained rapid advances in last decades for their intrinsic merits
such as potential of all-fiber format, excellent beam quality, superior power scalability, and …

Recent developments in nonlinear optics have led to the discovery of a new class of
ultrashort pulse, the 'optical similariton'. Optical similaritons arise when the interaction of …

The fiber laser, with its humble beginning in the late 1980s, has undergone tremendous
development in the past decade or so, transforming itself from a research curiosity to a major …

Isotope shifts in the nuclear charge radius of even and odd calcium isotopes are calculated
within the nuclear shell model. The model space includes all configurations of nucleons in …

We report for the first time an all-fiber laser system that generates tunable Watt-level
femtosecond pulses at around 2 µm without an external pulse compressor. The system is …

The Q-switching characteristics of actively Q-switched fiber lasers, especially the
inconsistency of experimental observations with traditional Q-switching theory, are reviewed …

QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, VOL. 45, NO. 11, NOVEMBER 2009 Optical Parabolic Pulse …

We show analytically and numerically that parabolic pulses and similaritons are not always
synonyms and that a self-phase modulation amplification regime can precede the self …

Picosecond pulses at gigahertz repetition rates from two different passively mode-locked
VECSELs are amplified to high powers in cascaded ytterbium doped fiber amplifiers. Small …
