Abstract :
We developed a diode-pumped Yb:YAG chirped-pulse oscillator with a positive intracavity group delay dispersion (GDD). To enlarge the cavity length of the laser, we employed a different type of multiple-pass cavity with a single hole that makes the alignment and operation easier. We also observed laser spectral broadening by reducing the positive intracavity GDD.
