Journal ArticleDOI
Amplification of 1 ps pulses at 1.053 μm in a Ti:Al2O3 regenerative amplifier
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the operation of a Ti:Al2O3 regenerative amplifier tunable around 1 μm, achieving gains up to 108 at 1.053 μm without any spectral narrowing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin plate compression of a sub-petawatt Ti:Sa laser pulses

TL;DR: By extending the concept of thin film compression to a thin plate, nonlinear postcompression from 24 fs to 13 fs of sub-petawatt laser pulses was demonstrated experimentally using a 1 mm-thick silica plate and chirped mirrors with a total anomalous dispersion of −50 fs2 as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Laser spot size as a function of tissue depth and laser wavelength in human sclera
TL;DR: In this article, the wavelength dependence of the minimum spot size of a laser beam focused through human sclera was determined to evaluate the potential for transcleral glaucoma surgical techniques using ultrashort-pulsed lasers.
Patent
Electro-optic measurement (network analysis) system
TL;DR: In this paper, a measurement system using electro-optic sampling and operative in the time domain characterizes devices over a bandwidth extending to upper microwave frequencies (e.g., 100 GHz).
Journal ArticleDOI
