  • Exploiting Extreme Nonlinear Waves in Femtosecond Fiber Lasers

    Title: Exploiting Extreme Nonlinear Waves in Femtosecond Fiber Lasers Location: GB220 Time: 4-5 pm, June 17th, 2026 Abstract: Short-pulse fiber lasers are attractive owing to the practical benefits of a waveguide medium. However, light pulses experience strong nonlinear effects in optical fiber, and these destabilize pulses of even modest energies. As a result, fiber lasers... Read more »
