Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR)
gratings or waveguide‐mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these …

Within the last two decades, vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) have
attracted rising interest from both industry and science. They have proven to be versatile …

Recent developments in semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) generating visible or ultraviolet
light are reviewed. After an introduction on potential applications, we discuss how the …

Since its invention and demonstration in 1960, several types of laser have been developed,
such as solid-state, semiconductor, gas, excimer, and dye lasers [1]. Today, lasers are used …

Two types of multilayered dielectric mirrors with high reflection in the visible range are
fabricated on line-patterned substrates using a suitable combination of cost-effective soft …

The use of cavity to manipulate photon emission of quantum dots (QDs) has been opening
unprecedented opportunities for realizing quantum functional nanophotonic devices and …

We present the experimental investigations of different designs of resonant waveguide-
grating (RWG) mirrors, used as intracavity folding mirrors in an Yb: YAG thin-disk laser …

We report the first demonstration of resonant-grating-based laser wavelength tuning in the
mid-infrared spectral domain and with Littrow mounting of the grating. We show for a mid …

We report on the fast (~ 50 μs) remote-controlled switching between continuous-wave (cw),
cw mode-locked (ML) and Q-switched ML modes of operation of a Nd: YVO_4 laser using an …

We characterize a semiconductor external cavity diode laser whose optical feedback is
provided by a guided mode resonance filter (GMRF). We focus on the spectral properties …
