  • Abstract
    Pulses as short as 65 fs at an average power of 22 mW were achieved from a passively modelocked laser at 1039 nm based on a Yb-doped diffusion-bonded KY(WO4)2 crystal. To the authors´ best knowledge, this is the shortest pulse duration for diode-pumped modelocked Yb-doped monoclinic double tungstate oscillators.
