A laser is not necessarily a sophisticated device: Pumping energy into an amplifying medium randomly filled with scatterers, a powder for instance, makes a perfect "random laser." In such a laser, the absence of mirrors greatly simplifies…

Spectral broadening of ultrashort laser pulses is simultaneously described by either self-phase modulation (SPM) or four-wave mixing (FWM). The latter implies the instantaneous conservation of both the photon number and energy, while the…

In the phased-array radar (PAR) signals from each antenna are transmitted at the same carrier frequency, which yields narrowly focused only angle dependent beampattern. In contrast, in the frequency-diverse-array (FDA) radar signals from…
Optical frequency comb devices have unlocked new capabilities in telecommunications, sensing, and metrology. Yet, precise in situ control of the comb spectral envelope remains extremely challenging. By introducing mode coupling with…
