Photonic technologies offer numerous functionalities that can be used to realize
astrophotonic instruments. The most spectacular example to date is the ESO Gravity …

We present a SESAM modelocked Yb: YAG solid-state laser providing low-noise
narrowband pulses with a pulse duration of 606 fs at a 1.09-GHz repetition rate, delivering …

Optical frequency combs are typically generated in the near-infrared wavelength range,
where many mode-locked lasers operate. Nonlinear frequency conversion can then be used …

This study reports on high-quality picosecond pulse generation using a single-stage dual-
drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DDMZM) and chirp compensation. Sinusoidal microwave …

We propose and demonstrate a non-mode-locking approach to generating multi-gigahertz
repetition rate, femtosecond pulses in burst mode by shaping a continuous-wave (CW) seed …

Plasma wakefields offer high acceleration gradients, orders of magnitude larger than
conventional RF accelerators. However, the achievable luminosity remains relatively low …
