With the magnetron-sputtering deposition method, α phase indium selenide (α-InSe) was developed into a saturable absorber (SA) with wideband saturable absorption property at 800, 1560, and 1930 nm. After inserting the α-InSe SA into erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) and thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) systems, we can easily obtain stable soliton pulse trains. The pulse duration/pulse energy/slope efficiency for EDFL and TDFL were 276 fs/2.03 nJ/15.8% and 1.02 ps/7.1 nJ/23.5%, respectively. These results showed that the MSD-grown α-InSe could be regarded as high efficiency material to be applied in ultrafast photonics.

Observation of Optical Chaotic Solitons and Modulated Subharmonic Route to Chaos in Mode-Locked Laser.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

East China Normal University, State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy, and Hainan Institute, Shanghai, China.

We reveal a new scenario for the transition of solitons to chaos in a mode-locked fiber laser: the modulated subharmonic route. Its universality is confirmed in two different laser configurations, namely, a figure-of-eight and a ring laser. Numerical simulations of the laser models agree well with the experiments.

Purpose: To compare the effect on sexual function of ejaculation-sparing enucleation of the prostate using Thulium: YAG laser (ES-ThuLEP) versus continuous-wave Thulium Fiber Laser (ES-ThuFLEP).

Methods: 112 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia who wished to preserve ejaculation were treated. 58 patients underwent ES-ThuLEP (Group A) using the Cyber TM generator.

As a low-energy method to increase the data rate of optical links in data centers, we propose self-homodyne Nyquist optical time division multiplexing (OTDM). In Nyquist OTDM, spectrally efficient high-baud rate signals can be generated exceeding the limit of electronic signal processing. However, full integration of OTDM systems has not been reported, mainly because of the complicated signal detection scheme, which involves demultiplexing and clock recovery.

We demonstrate a widely spaced, stabilized, and self-referenced opto-electronic oscillator driven electro-optic modulator based optical frequency comb. Using an ultra-stable Fabry-Perot etalon as a stable reference, we simultaneously stabilize a CW laser and generate a low noise and stable RF oscillation used to drive an electro-optic comb. In such a manner, the Fabry-Perot etalon pins both the carrier-envelope-offset frequency ( ) and the repetition rate of the comb in place ( ), eliminating the need for an external RF oscillator.

This paper employed a two-color double-pulse femtosecond laser (TDFL) technology for surface processing of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). By exploring the changes in ablation thresholds for resin and carbon fiber under varying wavelengths and pulse numbers, optimal wavelength combinations were identified. Adjustments to processing parameters and pulse delay enabled precise removal of the CFRP surface, targeting resin while causing no damage to the underlying carbon fibers.
