characteristic fingerprint spectra of many important molecules and transparent windows of …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …

The principal ideas of the thin-disk laser design will be illustrated and the advantages for
operating different laser materials will be explained. The results for continuous-wave (CW) …

The spectroscopic and laser kinetic properties of the trivalent ytterbium ion in various solid-
state media are reviewed. Contrasts between four-and quasi-three-level lasers (eg, Nd: YAG …

Abstract Different samples of xTeO 2.(25-y) B 2 O 3. zV 2 O 5. yYb 2 O 3 (or TBVY) new glass

A review of theoretical and experimental studies of thermal effects in solid-state lasers is
presented, with a special focus on diode-pumped ytterbium-doped materials. A large part of …

Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics We review the properties and applications of
ultrashort laser pulses in the atmosphere, with a particular focus on filamentation …

The advent of chirped-pulse amplification in the 1980s and femtosecond Ti: sapphire lasers
in the 1990s enabled transformative advances in intense laser–matter interaction physics …

We demonstrate a power-scalable concept for high-power all-solid-state femtosecond
lasers, based on passive mode locking of Yb: YAG thin disk lasers with semiconductor …
