Compact ultrafast lasers
The first ever laser consisted of a flash-lamp-pumped ruby rod and was built by T.H.Maiman in 1960 and since then lasers have captured the imagination of many physicists and the general public alike. Lasers have evolved significantly and now find various applications in areas such as industrial processing, medicine, defense and in day to day devices like DVD players and laser pointers. Lasers can operate in the continuous wave (CW) regime, where the intensity remains constant as a function of time or in the pulsed regime where periodic pulses of light are emitted with durations in the order of femtoseconds (10-15 seconds) known as mode-locking. Such laser system are known as "ultrafast" lasers and now find applications in many areas such as telecommunications, micromachining of materials and medicine.

Abstract
The first ever laser consisted of a flash-lamp-pumped ruby rod and was built by T.H.Maiman in 1960 and since then lasers have captured the imagination of many physicists and the general public alike. Lasers have evolved significantly and now find various applications in areas such as industrial processing, medicine, defense and in day to day devices like DVD players and laser pointers. Lasers can operate in the continuous wave (CW) regime, where the intensity remains constant as a function of time or in the pulsed regime where periodic pulses of light are emitted with durations in the order of femtoseconds (10-15 seconds) known as mode-locking. Such laser system are known as "ultrafast" lasers and now find applications in many areas such as telecommunications, micromachining of materials and medicine.
