Covers the fundamental concepts of laser operation, including dispersion theory, gain and resonators, different types of laser systems, noise characteristics, optical fibers, ultrafast lasers, and nonlinear frequency conversion.
Covers the Fourier transform, its properties, applications in signal processing, and differential equations, emphasizing the concept of derivatives becoming multiplications in the frequency domain.
Explores the theory and implementation of modelocking in ultrafast lasers, covering active and passive techniques, frequency domain interpretation, and pulse propagation.
Explores resonant three wave coupling, focusing on Stimulated Raman Scattering in plasma and the development of parametric instabilities affecting laser light.
