    Coherent master equation for laser modelocking

    Modelocked lasers constitute the fundamental source of optically-coherent ultrashort-pulsed radiation, with huge impact in science and technology. Their modeling largely rests on the master equation (ME) appro...

    Formation of phase soliton complexes in an optically injected semiconductor laser

    We show experimental and numerical results about attractive interactions between phase solitons in a strongly multimode semiconductor laser with injected signal. The formation of soliton bound states, or phas...

    Time stretch and its applications

    Photonic time-stretch techniques and their applications are reviewed. The approach enables the observation of signals that are otherwise too short or rapid for conventional measurement.

    Topological solitons as addressable phase bits in a driven laser

    Optical localized states are usually defined as self-localized bistable packets of light, which exist as independently controllable optical intensity pulses either in the longitudinal or transverse dimension o...

    Cavity Solitons in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers and their Applications

    Cavity solitons (CS) are single peak localized structures which form over a homogeneous background in the section of broad-area non linear resonator driven by a coherent holding beam. They can be switched on a...

    Cavity Soliton Laser based on coupled micro-resonators

    We report on the experimental observation of localized laser structures in a compound laser system consisting of two mutually coupled broad-area Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), one of which i...

    Cavity solitons as pixels in semiconductor microcavities

    Cavity solitons are localized intensity peaks that can form in a homogeneous background of radiation. They are generated by shining laser pulses into optical cavities that contain a nonlinear medium driven by ...
