Efficient few-cycle Yb-doped laser oscillator with Watt-level average power

Francois Labaye et al.

Summary: A novel pumping scheme relying on cross polarization has been developed to overcome performance limitations commonly seen in standard collinear pumping schemes, leading to high-efficiency and high-power ultrafast bulk laser oscillators.

Diode-pumped SESAM mode-locked Yb:(Y,Gd)AlO3 laser

Wen-Ze Xue et al.

Summary: We report on the continuous-wave and mode-locked laser performance of Yb3+-doped yttrium-gadolinium orthoaluminate crystal. The maximum output power in the continuous-wave regime was 429 mW at 1041.8 nm with a slope efficiency of 51.1% and a wavelength tuning range of 84 nm (1011-1095 nm). The self-starting mode-locked operation using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror produced soliton pulses as short as 43 fs.

Sub-30-fs Yb:YAG thin-disk laser oscillator operating in the strongly self-phase modulation broadened regime

Jakub Drs et al.

Summary: In this research, we explore the limits of pulse duration in a Kerr-lens modelocked Yb:YAG thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. By optimizing various mode-locking parameters, we achieve the shortest pulse duration directly generated by any ultrafast TDL oscillator operating in the strongly self-phase modulation broadened regime. Our results provide insights into trade-offs in average power, pulse duration, efficiency, and intra-cavity peak power for ultrafast TDL oscillators.
