A brighter future: the pure-quartic soliton laser

该项目旨在建立一个创新的，超快激光器的基础上最近发现的纯四次孤子，一类新的光学孤子。研究这些孤子本身将为孤子的形成和传播提供新的物理见解。纯四次孤子激光器的概念有望导致超快科学和相关应用的转变，有利于提高效率，并显着降低高能超快激光器的成本。该项目旨在为超快科学、工业材料加工、激光手术和分子光谱学提供益处。

This project aims to build an innovative, ultrafast laser based on the recent discovery of pure-quartic solitons, a new class of optical soliton. Investigating these solitons in their own right will provide new insights into the physics of soliton formation and propagation. The concept of the pure-quartic soliton laser is expected to lead to the transformation of ultrafast science and related applications with the benefit of to improving efficiency, and significantly reducing the cost of high-energy ultrafast lasers. The project aims to provide benefits in ultrafast science, industrial materials processing, laser surgery, and molecular spectroscopy.
