Abstract

We report on substantial pulse energy increase in Yb:KYW femtosecond laser oscillators by utilizing multiple laser crystals for an enhanced net-gain at higher pump power. The two-crystal oscillator generates pulse energies of 7 µJ at 1 MHz repetition rate which is, to our knowledge the highest energy ever reported from an Yb-doped tungstate fs-laser oscillator. The external pulse compression yields a pulse duration of 416 fs with a peak power of 12 MW being enough for stable white light generation in YAG.

摘要

我们报告了通过使用多个激光晶体以在更高泵浦功率下提高净增益，从而使镱钾钇钨（Yb:KYW）飞秒激光振荡器的脉冲能量大幅增加。双晶体振荡器在1 MHz重复频率下产生7 µJ的脉冲能量，据我们所知，这是掺镱钨酸盐飞秒激光振荡器所报道的最高能量。外部脉冲压缩产生了416 fs的脉冲持续时间，峰值功率为12 MW，足以在YAG中稳定产生白光。
