Origin of Thermal Nonlinear Refraction in Alcohols Revealed by Spatial Self-Phase Modulation under Excitation at 1560 nm

Abstract We investigated the relationship between molecular structure and nonlinear thermal responses of alcohols with different numbers of carbon atoms in their main chains using spatial self-phase modulation experiments at 1560 nm. The studied materials included the following a...

Replica symmetry breaking in the quasi mode locked regime of titanium sapphire lasers

Abstract Recent observations of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in ytterbium-based mode-locked fiber lasers have revealed glassy behavior in the quasi-mode-locked (QML) regime. Here, we investigate whether this behavior is restricted to a specific laser implementation or represen...
