Pioneering research on picosecond pulse generation using FDML lasers by Christoph Eigenwillig and colleagues from the group of Dr. Huber recently led to the publication of the article "Picosecond pulses from wavelength-swept continious-wave Fourier domain mode-locked lasers" in the journal Nature Communications". Important findings have been provided by numerical simulations performed in the framework of a collaboration with TUM in the group of Dr. Christian Jirauschek. Press releases can be found on the LMU website and on the TUM website.
