Thin‐disk lasers (TDLs) are best known for their high‐power continuous‐wave industrial
applications. Nonetheless, the thin‐disk geometry is also highly attractive for ultrafast laser …

This paper is devoted to summarizing and discussing the scientific progress achieved during
the past decade in diode-pumped ytterbium-doped solid-state lasers. The output radiation …

A high-power sub-50 fs diode-pumped Yb: CALGO laser oscillator is demonstrated. The
peak power achieved for 45 fs pulses directly from the oscillator was 1.7 MW. To the best of …

Nanoscratch tests of Lu 2 O 3 single crystal under different scratch velocities were performed
using Berkovich and spherical indenters. The experimental results indicated that shallower …

Ultrafast laser oscillators are indispensable tools for diverse applications in scientific
research and industry. When the phases of the longitudinal laser cavity modes are locked …

We experimentally investigate the limits of pulse duration in a Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:
YAG thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. Thanks to its excellent mechanical and optical …

We reported a high-power pure Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: CALYO laser based on the dual-
confocal cavity delivering sub-100-fs pulses. The output pulses at 81 MHz have an average …

We demonstrate an efficient 102-MW peak power, 103-W average power, Kerr-lens mode-
locked thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator generating 52-fs pulses at 17.1-MHz repetition rate …

We demonstrate efficient pulse compression of a 13.4 MHz, 534 fs, 123 W, Yb: YAG thin-disk
oscillator down to 27 fs at 98 W average power, resulting in a record-high 166 MW peak …

The progress achieved in the last few decades in the performance of ultrafast laser systems
with high average power has been tremendous, and continues to provide momentum to new …
