Laser Physics and Laser Techniques

Abstract

Several areas of Laser Physics and Laser Techniques are reported on, including ultrafast physical measurements; the development of a new subpicosecond time-response photodetector; identification and analysis of an important new quantum noise limit for unstable laser oscillators; and useful advances in stable and unstable laser resonator theory. Keywords: Optics; Lasers; Nonlinear optics; Unstable resonators; Excess biuse; Spontaneous emission; Ultrafast photo-detectors; Optical Kerr effect.
