Abstract

Mode-locked lasers are the fundamental source of ultrashort and ultraintense light pulses and a principal pathway for three Nobel Prize technologies: optical frequency combs, chirped pulse amplification, and attosecond light pulses. They are essential in routine and high-level applications such as refractive surgery, spectroscopy, or metrology. Here, we overview the mode-locking working principles and point its main applications out.
