Generation and Characterization of a Single Cycle Laser Pulse Invited
03:30-04:00
2017-10-02 03:30 2017-10-02 04:00 America/Denver Generation and Characterization of a Single Cycle Laser Pulse A single cycle laser pulse is generated using a two stage compressor consisting of a hollow core fiber and multiple fused silica plates. The single cycle laser pulse is sampled using the sub-cycle tunneling ionization in a gaseous medium or air. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince

2017-10-02 04:00 2017-10-02 04:15 America/Denver Regenerative Multi-Tone Injection Locking for Linewidth Enhancement and Repetition Rate Stabilization of a PIC Mode-Locked Laser We report the stabilization of a 10 GHz monolithic passively mode-locked laser using a novel combination of multi-tone injection locking and regenerative mode-locking via optoelectronic loop. Comb-teeth linewidths are narrowed by 4000x and repetition rate is stabilized to better than 10-10/τ at 1 second. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince
