Agile laser wavelength tuning using dynamic targeting

Robbe de Mey, Spencer W. Jolly, Alexandre Locquet +1

Tunable lasers are essential and versatile tools in photonics, with applications spanning telecommunications, spectroscopy, and sensing. Advancements have aimed to expand tuning ra…

Modeling the focusing of a radially-polarized laser beam with an initially flat-top intensity profile

Spencer W. Jolly

Radially-polarized light beams present very interesting and useful behavior for creating small intensity spots when tightly-focused, and manipulating nanostructures or charged part…

Relativistic electrons from vacuum laser acceleration using tightly focused radially polarized beams

Jeffrey Powell, Spencer W. Jolly, Simon Vallières +7

We generate a tabletop pulsed relativistic electron beam at 100 Hz repetition rate from vacuum laser acceleration (VLA) by tightly focusing a radially polarized beam into a low-den…

Coupling to multi-mode waveguides with space-time shaped free-space pulses

Spencer W. Jolly, Pascal Kockaert

Guided wave optics, including most prominently fiber optics and integrated photonics, very often considers only one or very few spatial modes of the waveguides. Despite being known…

Control of vortex orientation of ultrashort optical pulses using spatial chirp

Miguel A. Porras, Spencer W. Jolly

Introducing a spatial chirp into a pulse with a longitudinal vortex, such as a standard pulsed Laguerre-Gauss beam, results in a vortex pulse with an arbitrary orientation of the l…

Impact of feedback time-distribution on laser dynamics

Martin Skenderas, Spencer W. Jolly, Martin Virte

Time-distributed optical feedback in semiconductor lasers has gained attention for its ability to produce high-quality chaos and effectively suppress the time-delay signature. Howe…
