Scientists have captured the moment a laser "comes to life"—and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special ...

This study shows simulated properties of mode-locked lasers. The example device is a monolithic four-section laser with a physical length of about 1 mm, consisting of a short saturable absorber (SA), ...

We present a colliding pulse mode-locked semiconductor laser operating in the third-harmonic mode-locked state. In passive mode-locking operation, it achieved a repetition rate of 15.4 GHz and a 2.7 ...

The Center for Industrial Photonics (CIP) at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) has developed an additive manufacturing ...
