TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral gain narrowing was identified as one of the main issues, and a solution was proposed to solve it. But it was only applied to a Ti:sapphire/Nd:silicate glass power chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-pulse laser absorption in very steep plasma density gradients.
Jean-Claude Kieffer,P. Audebert,Mohamed Chaker,J. P. Matte,Henri Pépin,T. W. Johnston,P. Maine,D. D. Meyerhofer,J. A. Delettrez,Donna Strickland,Philippe Bado,Gerard Mourou +11 more
TL;DR: The results show a transition between a regime of laser interaction with sharply bounded dense cold matter and a regimes of interaction with a very steep density gradient plasma.
Book
Picosecond Electronics and Optoelectronics
TL;DR: In this paper, a mode-locked laser with a single-mode fiber output, a fast multiple quantum well absorber for mode locking, the suppression of timing and energy fluctuations in a modelocked semiconductor laser by cw injection, and parametric oscillations in semiconductor lasers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse contrast enhancement of high-energy pulses by use of a gas-filled hollow waveguide.
TL;DR: Using nonlinear ellipse rotation in a gas-filled hollow waveguide, this scheme offers a high degree of tunability that allows for a broad range of input pulse parameters, higher throughput, greater stability, and an output pulse with high spatial quality that is compressible to a quarter of the original temporal width.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chirped-pulse amplification of 100-fsec pulses
TL;DR: Chirped-pulse amplification is used to generate 2-mJ pulses of 106-fsec duration in an alexandrite amplifier to compensate for the compensation of both linear and quadratic contributions to the dispersion from the amplifier.
