A compact blue laser was generated by intracavity frequency doubling based on quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate bulk crystal. A 49 single-transverse-mode edge-emitters laser bar with antireflective coating was used as a pump source. An optical output power of 1.2 W SHG of blue lights at 465 nm is generated at 45 A injection current, equivalent to an overall wall-plug efficiency of 1.33%.

Optical clocks require an ultra-stable laser to probe and precisely measure the frequency of the narrow-linewidth clock transition. We introduce a portable ultraviolet (UV) laser system for use in an aluminum quantum logic clock, demonstrating a fractional frequency instability of approximately mod = 2 × 10. The system is based on an ultra-stable cavity with crystalline AlGaAs/GaAs mirror coatings, with a frequency quadrupling system employing two single-pass second-harmonic generation (SHG) stages.

Stationary symmetric and asymmetric states of Raman waves are theoretically found within a symmetric system of equations, and asymmetric branches of solutions turned out to be unstable. To explain the experimental results, it is proposed that there is a weak asymmetry in the system that radically changes the system behavior, which has been confirmed by numerical simulations.

In research and engineering, short laser pulses are fundamental for metrology and communication. The generation of pulses by passive mode-locking is especially desirable due to the compact setup dimensions, without the need for active modulation requiring dedicated external circuitry. However, well-established models do not cover regular self-pulsing in gain media that recover faster than the cavity round trip time.

- Researchers created a laser system using SbTe nanosheets as saturable absorbers and an acousto-optic modulator (AOM), resulting in a KTiOAsO-based optical parametric oscillator (OPO) powered by a modulated Q-switched laser.
- Experimental findings revealed that increasing pump power reduces the pulse widths of Q-switched envelopes and the number of mode-locking pulses, ultimately leading to subnanosecond pulse generation.
- The team also formulated coupled rate equations that describe this process and confirmed that their numerical simulations match the experimental data, highlighting SbTe's potential in optoelectronics.
