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