Abstract :
In this work for the first time, a mode-locked Yb:YAG thin-disk oscillator operating at 40 MHz repetition rate with the average power scaling ranging from 57 W to 100 W with roundtrip dispersion of-21000 fs2 is reported. The air-filled resonator provides the Gaussian mode of 2.6 mm in diameter at the disk and 1.4-1.8 mm at a SESAM.
