Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

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 …

We present a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode-locked thin-disk
laser generating 80 μJ of pulse energy without additional amplification. This laser oscillator …

Geometric scaling of a Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: YAG thin-disk oscillator yields
femtosecond pulses with an average output power of 270 W. The scaled system delivers …

We have recently demonstrated a simple power scaling procedure for Kerr-lens mode-
locked thin-disk oscillators. Here we report on the extension of this scheme to a broadband …

We report on the first passively Q-switched Nd: YAlO_3 laser at~ 1079.5 nm using MoS_2 as
saturable absorber. The MoS_2 saturable absorber is fabricated by transferring the liquid …

In this study, we report on a pure Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: CaGdAlO_4 oscillator optically
pumped by a diffraction-limited fiber laser. At the repetition rate of 96 MHz, several …

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 …

We present a compact extreme ultraviolet (XUV) source based on high-harmonic generation
(HHG) at 2.4 MHz pulse repetition rate driven from the compressed output of a mode-locked …

We investigate Kerr lens mode locking of Yb: Lu_2O_3 thin-disk laser oscillators operating
in the sub-100-fs regime. Pulses as short as 35 fs were generated at an average output …
