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 ...

Generating intense ultrashort pulses with high spatial quality has opened up possibilities for ultrafast and strong-field science. It is so important that the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was given to ...
