Mode Locking News Today

Laser mode locking generates ultrashort pico- and femtosecond pulses by establishing phase uniformity among intrinsic cavity modes. This article overviews the fundamentals of laser mode locking, its underlying principles, different methods, and recent developments in this field.

The FemtoBlade laser employs a modular design that provides increased flexibility and high power at high repetition rates which will enable faster processing and improved throughput for micromachining applications, including OLED, PCB, ceramic and glass cutting, engraving, and solar cell processing.
