Fiber Laser Emits Microjoules in Femtosecond Pulses

Parabolic pulses simplify amplification to 21 W of average power.

Breck Hitz

Fiber lasers are well-known for their excellent heat dissipation and ruggedness, although stable, mode-locked operation of high-average-power fiber lasers has not been readily obtained. But the output of such lasers — stable, ultrashort pulses with tens of watts of average power — would be useful in applications from ophthalmology and waveguide writing to nonlinear conversion. Figure 1. The all-fiber oscillator-amplifier system consisted of a mode-locked oscillator (defined by the dotted line), a preamplifier (bottom right) and a holey-fiber power amplifier (bottom left).

    ophthalmology
    Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eyes and visual system. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye disorders and diseases. They are trained to provide comprehensive eye care, including medical, surgical, and optical interventions. Key areas within ophthalmology include: General eye care: Ophthalmologists perform routine eye examinations to assess visual acuity,...
