Femtosecond Photonics: Fundamental Phenomena and Advanced Devices
Abstract
During the period of this program we made significant progress in several areas, in the development of new femtosecond lasers and techniques, in the application of ultrafast optics to fiber devices and to studies of novel materials and material structures. Some of these key advances are summarized in sections entitled: (1) Ultrashort pulse femtosecond lasers; (2) Optical phase and waveform control of sub-two-cycle pulses; (3) Dispersion managed propagation and modelocking; (4) Noise in ultrafast optical devices; (5) Generation of high intensity ultrashort pulses using novel laser design; (6) Nonlinear semiconductor mirrors for femtosecond pulse generation; (7) Erbium glass waveguide lasers and short pulse generation; (8) Nonepitaxial saturable absorber materials for nonlinear optic; (9) Ultrashort pulse fiber lasers; and (10) Photonic device fabrication using nonlinear materials processing.
