7.6-W diode-pumped femtosecond Yb: KGW laser

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/28/4/044205

Abstract

We have demonstrated a high power diode-pumped mode-locked femtosecond Yb:KGW laser with semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). By using an output coupler with 10% transmittance, the laser delivered 160-fs pulses with average output power of 7.6 W at a repetition rate of 78 MHz, corresponding to pulse energy of 97 nJ and peak power of 606 kW.

Keywords: femtosecond diode-pump SESAM mode-locking
