Semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode-locked thin disk lasers define the
state-of-the-art performance for high average power and high pulse energy femtosecond …

We present an ultrafast thin disk laser that generates an average output power of 275 W,
which is higher than any other modelocked laser oscillator. It is based on the gain material …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …

Functional crystals are the basic materials for the development of modern science and
technology and are playing key roles in the modern information era. In this paper, we review …

Direct sub-50-fs pulse generation is demonstrated with a mode-locked Yb: YCa_4O (BO_3)
_3 laser. With external compression, pulses as short as 35? fs are generated at 1055? nm …

We report on the first demonstration, to the best of our knowledge, of sub-100 fs pulses
directly from the diode-pumped mode-locked Yb: KGW bulk oscillators operated at a low …

A mode-locked thin-disk laser based on Yb: CALGO is demonstrated for the first time. At an
average output power of 28 W we obtained pulses with a duration of 300 fs and a pulse …

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 …

We report the results of the investigation on a passively mode-locked Yb^ 3+: CaGdAlO_4
laser, pumped by a single transverse mode laser diode emitting 350 mW at 980 nm. This …

Sesquioxide crystals were identified as promising gain media for high-power ultrafast lasers,
and the broadening of their fluorescence spectra could shorten the achievable laser pulses …
