Solitons are self‐sustaining optical pulses that arise from the precise balance of anomalous dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity in a fibre. Their remarkable stability over long distances underpins ...

Ultrashort mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser pulses are essential for applications such as molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and biomedical imaging, but their generation often relies on complex ...

Schematic of the nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) configuration incorporating a tapered Ho:ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber. The setup shows counter-propagating pulses within the loop, nonlinear phase ...

Generating intense ultrashort pulses with high spatial quality has opened up possibilities for ultrafast and strong-field science. It is so important that the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was given to ...
