Harnessing Optical Limiting in Saturable Absorbers for Reconfigurable Spectral Engineering of Ultrafast Fiber Lasers

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical limiting in a nanomaterial‐polymer saturable absorber is harnessed as a functional intracavity degree of freedom, where pump‐controlled photothermal loss continuously reshapes the gain spectrum of rare‐earth ions, enabling non‐mechanical spectral engineering in an ultrafast fiber laser.

1 W Single‐Mode Large‐Area Edge‐Emitting Laser via Non‐Hermitian Spatial Mode Filtering

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
We demonstrate a non‐Hermitian spatial mode filtering approach for achieving high‐power single‐mode operation in large‐area edge‐emitting laser diodes. By symmetrically coupling passive filter arrays to the main lasing waveguide, higher‐order transverse modes are effectively suppressed while preserving the fundamental mode.

Theory of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Fibers for Highly Multimode Excitations

Physical Review X
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is often an unwanted loss mechanism in both active and passive fibers. Highly multimode excitation of fibers has been proposed as a novel route toward efficient SBS suppression.

Parallel Multi‐Target Detection for Quantum LiDAR

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Parallel multi‐target detection is achieved in quantum LiDAR with a single‐pixel quantum readout. Direction and distance information are extracted together, allowing multiple objects to be distinguished under noisy low‐light conditions and pointing to a new strategy for scan‐free quantum remote sensing.

A Fully‐Connected Chip‐Integrated Reconfigurable Mode‐Pairing Quantum Key Distribution Network

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work constructs a fully connected reconfigurable chip‐integrated quantum key distribution network via the mode‐pairing protocol. Hybrid ECL and WSS chips cut wavelength and port overhead, realizing arbitrary‐user key sharing with merely two wavelengths.

Talbot interference of whispering gallery modes

APL Photonics
The Talbot self-imaging phenomenon is a fundamental interference effect that is natural to all waves with a periodic structure. We theoretically and experimentally study the Talbot effect for optical waves in the transverse angular domain using ...

Tunable, High Pulse Energy and Narrow Linewidth Gas‐Filled Fiber Laser Across Near‐ and Mid‐Infrared

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A cascaded gas‐filled anti‐resonant hollow‐core fiber architecture enables broadly tunable infrared Raman lasers spanning ∼1.4–4.6 µm while maintaining microjoule‐level pulse energies and gigahertz‐level linewidths. The approach combines a wavelength‐tunable pump laser with optimized Raman frequency conversion, providing a compact route to high ...

Multifunctionality in Silicon Photonics Through Temperature‐Driven Inverse Design

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Temperature‐conditioned inverse design embeds thermo‐optic reconfigurability directly into compact silicon photonic devices. By co‐optimizing a single geometry at 300 K (T1) and 520 K (T2), the same structure supports distinct optical functions, enabling experimentally verified switching and mode conversion without resonant architectures or additional ...

Space-time wave packets in multimode optical fibers with controlled dynamic motions and tunable group velocities

Nature Communications
Space-time wave packets (STWPs) with correlated spatial and frequency degrees of freedom exhibit time-dependent spatial interference, thereby giving rise to interesting dynamic evolution behaviors.
