New ultrafast measurement technique shows how lasers start from chaos

Physorg  March 9, 2018
By measuring the laser temporal intensity with sub-picosecond resolution, as well as its optical spectrum with sub-nanometer resolution simultaneously, an international team of researchers (Finland, France) retrieved the complete characteristics of the underlying electromagnetic field. The results provide a very convenient laboratory example of a dissipative soliton system which is a central concept in nonlinear science and relevant to studies in other fields, such as biology, medicine and possibly even social sciences… read more.
