Spatiotemporal mode-locking (STML) has been a hot topic since 2017 (Science 358, 94–97 (2017)). However, comprehension and control of spatiotemporal dissipative solitons (STDSs) and STML in multi-mode ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Part of the Power Core 808 series of 808-nm multimode laser engine chips, two ultra-high-brightness low-divergence free-space laser diodes have 25- and 45-µm apertures and deliver 0.5 and 2.0 W, The ...

Diode pumping of a dual-clad fiber laser can be from the end or the side, but light must enter at an angle close to the axis of the fiber so the pump light (blue) can be guided within the outer core.

Fiber technology has quietly enabled much of what we take for granted today, such as the internet, high-speed video and even mobile networks—all of which rely heavily on fiber backbones to ensure high ...

Over the past decade, single-mode optical fiber has become firmly established as the preferred medium for terrestrial communications. Without the vast data capacity of these types of fiber (practical ...

The following terms were defined with the assistance of Panduit Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wiring and network cabling products and Jeff Hecht, noted optical networking consultant and ...
