Glossary
mode-locked lasers
Mode-locking is a technique used in lasers to produce ultrashort pulses of light with durations on the order of picoseconds, femtoseconds, or even attoseconds. This method synchronizes the phases of different longitudinal modes within the laser cavity, causing them to interfere constructively and generate a train of short pulses. Here is a basic overview of mode-locked operation in a laser: Longitudinal modes: Lasers support different longitudinal modes, each corresponding to a specific...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
