We present a new theoretical scheme for laser cooling of rare earth doped solids with optical super-radiance (SR), which is the coherent, sharply directed spontaneous emission of photons by a system of laser excited rare earth ions in the…
We demonstrate compression and shaping of few cycle pulses from a high average power Ytterbium laser system. The pulses from a commercial 20 W, 100 kHz Yb laser system are spectrally broadened in two-stages using gas-filled, stretched…
A simple, robust, and efficient method to produce either radially or azimuthally polarized output beam from a fiber laser is presented. Experimental results reveal that polarization purity of 90% or better can be obtained.
A method for the agile generation of the optical frequencies required for laser cooling and atom interferometry of rubidium is demonstrated. It relies on fiber Bragg grating technology to filter the output of an electro-optic modulator and…
Beginning with a continuous wave laser at 1064 nm, we generate a 30 GHz electro-optic frequency comb which contains 100 lines spanning 3 THz. The initial comb is subsequently amplified, spectrally broadened in normal dispersion photonic…
We present the characterization of a laser frequency stabilization scheme using a state-of-the-art wavelength meter based on solid Fizeau interferometers. For a frequency-doubled Ti-sapphire laser operated at 461 nm, an absolute Allan…
We present a compact, reliable, and robust free-running all-polarization-maintaining erbium (Er) single-cavity dual-comb laser generated via polarization multiplexing with gain sharing. Polarization multiplexing exploits the fast and slow…
Single cavity dual-comb fiber lasers adopting different multiplexing configurations are benefited from the natures of common-mode noise suppression and superior coherence. Particularly, repetition-rate tunable dual-combs enable…
A ytterbium doped silica optical fiber has been cooled by 18.4K below ambient temperature by pumping with 20W of 1035nm light in vacuum. In air, cooling by 3.6K below ambient was observed with the same 20W pump. The temperatures were…

Free-space strong-field terahertz (THz) pulses, generated via optical rectification of femtosecond lasers in nonlinear crystals, are pivotal in various applications. However, conventional Ti:sapphire lasers struggle to produce…

An ultra-low intensity and beatnote phase noise dual-frequency vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser is built at telecom wavelength. The pump laser is realized by polarization combining two single-mode fibered laser diodes in a…
We describe a tunable broadband mid-infrared laser source based on difference-frequency mixing of a 100 MHz femtosecond Yb:fiber laser oscillator and a Raman-shifted soliton generated with the same laser. The resulting light is tunable over…
A femtosecond frequency-doubled Erbium-doped fiber laser with adjustable pulse repetition rate is developed and applied in two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy. The all-fiber laser system provides the fundamental pulse at 1560 nm…
Rare-earth-doped fiber lasers are emerging as promising high-power mid-infrared sources for the 2.6-3.0 {\mu}m and 3.3-3.8 {\mu}m regions based on erbium and holmium ions. The intermediate wavelength range, however, remains vastly…
We study the Doppler-cooling of radial two-dimensional (2D) Coulomb crystals of trapped barium ions in a radiofrequency trap. Ions in radial 2D crystals experience micromotion of an amplitude that increases linearly with the distance from…
We present a solid-state laser system that generates over 200 mW of continuous-wave, narrowband light, tunable from 316.3 nm - 317.7 nm and 318.0 nm - 319.3 nm. The laser is based on commercially available fiber amplifiers and optical…

Modelocked frequency comb lasers have always operated with a single pulse circulating in the laser cavity. This meant that each laser technology had an associated limit on pulse repetition rate. Achieving higher rates required different…
