Transparent ceramics have various potential applications such as infrared (IR)
windows/domes, lamp envelopes, opto-electric components/devices, composite armors, and …

Ultrafast laser sources operating in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region, which contains the
characteristic fingerprint spectra of many important molecules and transparent windows of …

Mode-locked laser operation near 2.05 µm based on a mixed sesquioxide Tm: LuYO_3
ceramic is demonstrated. Continuous-wave and wavelength-tunable operation is also …

This paper is devoted to reviewing the latest results achieved in solid-state lasers based on
thulium-doped mixed-sesquioxide ceramics, ie,(Lu, Sc, Y) 2O3. The near-and mid-infrared …

Sesquioxides are outstanding host materials for rare-earth doped laser gain media.
Unfortunately, their very high melting points make it challenging for them to be fabricated in …

Pulsed solid‐state lasers comprise 2D materials as saturable absorbers that contain
transparent windows of the atmosphere and characteristic fingerprint spectra of several vital …

High‐entropy ceramics have been widely explored and extensively studied since the first
demonstration of the configuration entropy stabilized reversible transitions between multiple …

We report on sub-50 fs pulse generation from a passively mode-locked (ML) Tm, Ho-
codoped crystalline laser operating in a 2 µm spectral region. A \rmTm,\rmHo:\rmCa(\rmGd …

We present a combined gain media Kerr-lens mode-locked laser based on a Tm: Lu_2O_3
ceramic and a Tm: Sc_2O_3 single crystal. Pulses as short as 41 fs, corresponding to less …

We report on a continuous wave (CW) and Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Tm^ 3+: YScO_3
single-crystal laser centered at 2.1 µm. Efficient CW laser operation with a maximum slope …
