Passively modelocked, diode-pumped Yb:KYW femtosecond oscillator with 1 GHz repetition rate

Opt Express. 2009 Mar 30;17(7):5630-5. doi: 10.1364/oe.17.005630.

Abstract

We demonstrate a high repetition rate, single mode fiber-coupled diode pumped, Yb:KYW laser in a four mirror ring cavity configuration and study its performance in soft aperture, Kerr lens mode-locked operation at around 1.04 microm.
