How harmonic mode-locked Mamyshev oscillators build up multiple laser pulses per cycle

The Mamyshev oscillator (MO) is a type of fiber laser capable of producing high-energy laser pulses at a tunable repetition rate. It is a mode-locked laser which uses light traveling within a closed-loop cavity to produce laser emission. Harmonic mode-locking (HML) is an advanced form of mode-locking process where multiple laser pulses are produced within one round trip of light. MOs employing HML are used for several advanced applications such as optical communication, frequency metrology, and micromachining.

Physicist Solves 120-Year-Old Thermodynamics Puzzle and Corrects Einstein

The paper argues that the third principle of thermodynamics follows from the second principle, rather than being a separate or independent concept. Professor José María Martín-Olalla of the University of Seville has published a paper addressing a thermodynamics problem that has remained unresolve

Explore Project

Preparation for the first EXPLORE analog mission planned for June is running on schedule in Austria.

Enthusiasm for our EXPLORE project is contagious, as students and staff at the Amadeus International School in Vienna, Austria will be happy to tell you!

This month teachers in selected schools in Austria, Greece and Portugal received EXPLORE’s physical mission toolkits.

Vanishing Populations: Millions Are Missing From Global Census Counts

Foreign aid cuts will make the ongoing ‘quiet crisis’ even worse, according to experts. Researchers warn that millions of people worldwide are missing from census and survey data, leaving policymakers without crucial information about the populations they are responsible for. They describe a ‘
