The unique characteristics of ultrafast lasers, such as picosecond and femtosecond lasers,
have opened up new avenues in materials processing that employ ultrashort pulse widths …

Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

We demonstrate recording and retrieval of the digital document with a nearly unlimited
lifetime. The recording process of multiplexed digital data was implemented by femtosecond …

The unique characteristics of ultrafast lasers have rapidly revolutionized materials
processing after their first demonstration in 1987. The ultrashort pulse width of the laser …

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 …

We present an ultrafast thin disk laser that generates an average output power of 275 W,
which is higher than any other modelocked laser oscillator. It is based on the gain material …

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 present a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode-locked thin-disk
laser generating 80 μJ of pulse energy without additional amplification. This laser oscillator …

We report a mode-locked fiber laser that exploits dissipative-soliton pulse shaping along
with cladding pumping for high average power. The laser generates 31 nJ chirped pulses at …

Ultrafast thin disk laser oscillators achieve the highest average output powers and pulse
energies of any mode-locked laser oscillator technology. The thin disk concept avoids …
