ML in PMF via NPE

Just before Yuri Stepanenko did his talk on Laser Technique Symposium (PL) we have submitted a patent claim on mode-locking (forcing pulsed operation) of polarization maintaining fiber based lasers via nonlinear polarization evolution. Hopefully soon you'll be able to read all about it in one of reviewed journals.

NOPA vs OPA - Hussar resolves

Parametric amplifier based on the femtosecond laser oscillator? Not a challenge to our team. The question arises, however, for such small pulse energies, which is better: NOPA or simple OPA? (more)
