Compact Sources of Ultrashort Pulses (Hardcover)

This comprehensive volume provides a survey of the many recent innovations in the field of ultrashort pulse generation, and reviews the state of the art in compact, mode-locked laser systems, discussing both their operational principles and potential applications. The theory of short optical pulse generation by mode-locking is covered in the first chapter. Thereafter, mode-locking techniques in different types of lasers are discussed: solid state lasers; diode-pumped lasers; fibre lasers; surface emitting semiconductor lasers; external cavity semiconductor lasers; hybrid soliton pulse sources; and monolithic colliding pulse mode-locked diode lasers. Presenting both theoretical and experimental aspects throughout, this book should be valuable to anyone interested in short pulse laser systems, and particularly to researchers involved in high speed communications or the investigation of ultrafast phenomena.
