We report on the first watt-level ultrafast laser inscribed Thulium waveguide (WG) lasers.
Depressed-index buried channel WGs with a circular cladding (type III) are produced in …

Kerr-lens mode-locked operation of a Yb: KGW laser pumped by a multimode laser diode
with the help of an additional Kerr medium is reported. With an enhanced Kerr lensing effect …

A discretely tunable dual-wavelength diode-pumped Yb: CALGO laser using a single
birefringent filter (BRF) plate which covered a wavelength range of approximately 1020 …

We report on the thermal lensing effect study in a 1063-nm Nd: GdVO 4 laser with in-band
diode pumping at 912 nm. The thermal lensing focal power was determined using the …

We report on efficient diode-pumped mid-infrared lasers based on Tm: LiYF_4, Tm:
Y_3Al_5O_12, and Tm: YAlO_3 crystals. These lasers operate in the continuous-wave (CW) …

A high power dual-wavelength alexandrite (Cr: BeAl 2 O 4) laser using a single plate
birefringent filter (BRF) was demonstrated. Using a 6 mm thick BRF, dual-wavelength output …

We have demonstrated what we believe is the first report on the three continuous-wave dual-
wavelength operation regimes of a diode-pumped Nd: GdVO 4 laser using a single …

A high-power (> 1 W) pure Kerr-lens mode-locked bulk Yb: KGW laser with multimode fiber-
coupled diode pumping was demonstrated. The laser delivered 240 fs pulses with 2.3 W of …

We present what is, to our knowledge, the first detailed study of thermal and population
lensing in cryogenically cooled Yb: YLF. Using a rod-shaped a-cut Yb: YLF crystal, the …

We report on the performance of a continuous-wave Nd: GdVO_4 laser in-band diode-
pumped at 912 nm with high output power and excellent beam quality. The laser produced …
