Efficient picosecond ultrasonics with a single-cavity dual-comb laser
(2023)Proceedings of SPIE ~ Ultrafast Phenomena and Nanophotonics XXVIIWe apply a spatially multiplexed low-noise solid-state dual-comb oscillator delivering two pulse trains at slightly different repetition rates for picosecond ultrasonics measurements. This novel laser delivers more than 2 W of average power per pulse train with 200fs pulses. We characterize the laser performance demonstrating its ultra-low relative timing jitter and relative intensity noise. By employing a high-sensitivity detection scheme ...Other Conference Item -
Frequency performance of quantum cascade and interband cascade detectors
(2023)Proceedings of SPIE ~ Quantum Sensing, Imaging, and Precision MetrologyQuantum cascade detectors (QCD) are photovoltaic mid-infrared detectors based on intersubband transitions. The sub-picosecond carrier transport between subbands and the absence of a bias voltage make QCDs ideally suited for high-speed and room temperature operation. Interband cascade detectors (ICDs) combine interband optical transitions with fast intraband transport to achieve high-frequency and broad-wavelength operation at room ...Other Conference Item -
Femtosecond pulses from a backside-cooled 2-µm, GDD balanced InGaSb VECSEL
(2023)Proceedings of SPIE ~ Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VECSELs) XIIWe report on a SESAM modelocked GDD balanced VECSEL embedding the active region in quaternary Al15Ga85AsSb. The GDD is flattened by a multilayer semiconductor dielectric top-coating allowing for stable femtosecond operation with a standard SESAM and high-quality YAG Brewster windows. We avoid tradeoffs that would limit the output power. This GDD balanced VECSEL is the next step towards higher level of integration: pump-DBR implementation, ...Other Conference Item -

Shot-noise limited 1-GHz dual-comb supercontinuum from a single-cavity dual-comb and a single ANDi fiber
(2023)OSA Technical Digest ~ Laser Congress 2023We report a 1-GHz dual-comb supercontinuum generated from a single-cavity dual-comb in a single ANDi fiber. The combs exhibit record-low noise and approach the shot-noise limit in the performed RIN and dual-comb interferometry measurements.Other Conference Item -
Characterizing Carrier Envelope Frequency Correlation from a Polarization Multiplexed Free Running Single-Cavity Dual-Comb Laser
(2023)OSA Technical Digest ~ Laser Congress 2023Using a single f-2f interferometer, we measure the correlation between the carrier-envelope offset frequencies of the two combs generated in a polarization-multiplexed dual-comb laser. Noise is suppressed by 20 dB via the shared cavity architecture.Other Conference Item -
Modelocked thin-disk laser oscillator providing more than 400 W average output power with a replicating cavity design
(2023)OSA Technical Digest ~ Laser Congress 2023We demonstrate an ultrafast thin-disk laser oscillator providing 410 W average power with a pulse duration of 751 fs at a repetition rate of 7.77 MHz. This is enabled by a replicating cavity scheme and sapphire SESAMs.Other Conference Item
