Abstract

Diode-pumped mode-locked laser operation based on Yb(3+):Sc(2)O(3) and Yb(3+):Y(2)O(3) multi-gain-media oscillator has been demonstrated. 66-fs pulse duration with an average power of 1.5 W and 53-fs pulse duration with an average power of 1 W under 8-W laser diode pumping were achieved. The optical-to-optical efficiency was 18.8%. Additionally, 68-fs pulse duration with an average power of 540 mW from Yb(3+):Y(2)O(3) ceramic was also obtained.
