Sub-Hz Noise Dominance in Feed-Forward Carrier-Envelope Phase Stabilization

(2026)

Sub-Hz drift dominates full-band phase noise of the feed-forward system. This review models its mechanisms through phase-noise integration and transfer functions.

Role of Upper-State Lifetime in Carrier-Envelope Phase Control of Er:Yb:glass Lasers

(2026)

We critically review carrier-envelope phase stabilization of Er:Yb:glass mode-locked lasers, reproducing attosecond-level jitter and illustrating that millisecond-level upper-state lifetime limits bandwidth, forcing a hybrid feed-forward/feedback architecture and motivating fast intracavity actuation.

Exploring Laser Heater Wavelength Tuning for Microbunching Instability Suppression in Free-Electron Lasers

(2025)

This paper derives the optimal Laguerre–Gaussian laser heater waist for microbunching suppression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that wavelength tuning up to μm remains effective for Free-Electron Lasers with proper parameter adjustments.
