High‐power laser sources are widely used in industrial precision processing and act as a
new platform for strong‐field physics research using peak power over petawatt. This review …

Ultrafast lasers reaching extremely high powers within short fractions of time enable a
plethora of applications. They grant advanced material processing capabilities, are effective …

We report the demonstration of a diode-pumped Tm: YLF laser operating at 1.88 µm that
produces pulse energies up to 3.88 J in 20 ns. The compact system consists of a Q-switched …

We describe a new approach for driving GeV-scale plasma accelerators with long laser
pulses. We show that the temporal phase of a long, high-energy driving laser pulse can be …

Nuclear fusion between protons and boron-11 nuclei has undergone a revival of interest
thanks to the rapid progress in pulsed laser technology. Potential applications of such …

The quest for ever‐shorter optical pulses has been ongoing for over half a century. Although
few‐cycle pulses have been generated for nearly 40 years, pulse lengths below the single …

The work is aimed at the investigation of the influence of nonlinear active ions concentration
profiles in Yb: YAG laser elements on temperature distribution and wavefront distortions …

In this study, the photoluminescence properties of Y 3 Al 3 MgSiO 12: Cr 3+(YMASG: Cr 3+)
and Y 3 Al 3 MgSiO 12: 2% Ce 3+, Cr 3+(YMASG: 2% Ce 3+, Cr 3+) were investigated, and …

We present results on the development of a cryogenic Yb: YAG multi-pass laser amplifier
based on a composite thin-disk design and demonstrate one-joule, diffraction limited …

We demonstrate ultrashort pulse compression from 300 fs down to 17 fs at a repetition rate
of 20 kHz and 160-µJ output pulse energy (3.2 W of average power) using multidimensional …
