A new method of creating laser pulses, more than 1,000 times as powerful as those currently in existence, has been proposed by scientists in the UK and South Korea. The scientists have used computer ...

Self-compressible multipass cavities (MPCs) operating in the near-infrared typically rely on mirrors with anomalous dispersion to counterbalance the normal dispersion introduced by the nonlinear ...

Solitons are self‐sustaining optical pulses that arise from the precise balance of anomalous dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity in a fibre. Their remarkable stability over long distances underpins ...

Three-dimensional schematic and cross-sectional view of a holmium-doped ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber, illustrating the microstructured air-hole cladding, air-hole diameter (dₐ), and pitch (Λ). The ...
