Title :
Femtosecond Fiber Lasers: Performance of Solid-State with the Benefits of Fiber
Author_Institution :
Cornell Univ., Ithaca
Abstract :
A new pulse-shaping process enables the construction of the first femtosecond lasers that do not require intracavity dispersion control. These lasers generate pulses with energies 10-20 nJ, comparable to the performance of solid-state lasers.
