Femtosecond pulse generation in surface-emitting semiconductor lasers
In this thesis I report significant advances towards the goal of stable ultrashort pulse generation in mode-locked optically pumped vertical external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs). Continuous wave VECSELs were first designed as a type of semiconductor laser capable of producing high outpu...
