Abstract

The advent of self-referenced optical frequency combs1, 2 has sparked the development of novel areas in ultrafast sciences such as attosecond technology3, 4 and the synthesis of arbitrary optical waveforms5, 6. Few-cycle light pulses are key to these time-domain applications, driving a quest for reliable, stable and cost-efficient mode-locked laser sources with ultrahigh spectral bandwidth. Here, ...
