Period multiplication in mode-locked figure-of-9 fiber lasers.

TL;DR: This work experimentally demonstrates a figure-of-9 fiber laser which can generate period-multiplied pulses with long-term stability and believes that the laser design presented here could be a stable and reliable ultrafast optical platform to study bifurcation and chaos.

Simulation study of ionization-induced injection in sub-terawatt laser wakefield acceleration

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sub-TW wakefield acceleration in which a H2-N2 mixture is applied for the gas target; in this fashion, the nitrogen doping ratio ρN can be varied to improve the output energy and the charge of accelerated electrons with the addition of ionization-induced injection.

Supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of numerical and experimental studies of supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber is presented over the full range of experimentally reported parameters, from the femtosecond to the continuous-wave regime.

Endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber.

TL;DR: An effective-index model confirms that an all-silica optical fiber made by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes can be single mode for any wavelength.

Femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond laser ablation of solids

TL;DR: Theoretical models and qualitative explanations of experimental results are presented in this paper for femtosecond laser ablation of solid targets by 0.2-5000 ps Ti: Sapphire laser pulses.

Visible continuum generation in air–silica microstructure optical fibers with anomalous dispersion at 800 nm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate experimentally that air-silica microstructure optical fibers can exhibit anomalous dispersion at visible wavelengths, and exploit this feature to generate an optical continuum 550 THz in width, extending from the violet to the infrared.

77-fs pulse generation from a stretched-pulse mode-locked all-fiber ring laser

TL;DR: By incorporating a section of large positive-dispersion fiber in an all-fiber erbium ring laser, a fully self-starting source of 77-fs pulse with 90 pJ of energy and greater than 1 kW of peak power at a 45-MHz repetition rate is obtained.
