• Femtosecond Cr2+-based lasers 

      Sorokina, Irina T; Sorokin, Evgeni (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      We review a novel class of femtosecond Cr2+-doped ZnSe and ZnS lasers, which operates in a very important for applications wavelength range between 2 and 3.5 μm and which generates ultrashort optical pulses that are only ...
    • Four-wave Mixing-based Wavelength Conversion and Parametric Amplification in Submicron Silicon Core Fibers 

      Wu, Dong; Shen, Li; Ren, Haonan; Huang, Meng; Lacava, Cosimo; Campling, Joseph; Sun, Shiyu; Hawkins, Thomas A.; Gibson, Ursula; Petropoulos, Periklis; Ballato, John; Peacock, Anna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Silicon core fibers represent a versatile platform for all-fiber integrated nonlinear optical applications. This paper describes the state of the art in four-wave mixing-based parametric amplification, and wavelength ...
    • Mid-IR ultrashort pulsed fiber-based lasers 

      Sorokina, Irina T; Dvoyrin, Vladislav; Tolstik, Nikolai; Sorokin, Evgeni (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      We review the latest breakthroughs in ultrafast fiber laser technology in the mid-IR wavelength range ≥2 μm. In particular, we concentrate on two novel laser systems built around passively mode-locked Tm:fiber lasers and ...
    • Wavelength conversion and supercontinuum generation in silicon optical fibers 

      Peacock, Anna; Campling, Joseph; Runge, Antoine; Ren, Haonan; Shen, Li; Aktas, Ozan; Horak, Peter; Healy, Noel; Gibson, Ursula; Ballato, John (Journal article, 2018)
      This paper describes the state of the art in wavelength conversion and supercontinuum generation using glass-clad silicon core optical fibers. Such semiconductor fibers have enjoyed considerable attention due to their ...
