Article Synopsis
- The study compares the performance of various new Yb-doped crystals in a specific oscillator setup using a single-mode fiber-coupled diode laser pump.
- It aims to evaluate the shortest possible laser pulses that can be achieved with current SESAM technology.
- The crystals being assessed include Yb:KLuW, Yb:SSO, Yb:CALGO, Yb:CALYO, and Yb:CaF, highlighting their potential for future commercial ultrafast solid-state laser systems.
Yb:Sc2SiO5 has been investigated in a low-power laser femtosecond oscillator pumped by 400-mW single-mode fiber-coupled diode at 976 nm. Pulses as short as 71 fs were achieved. The same crystal was later employed in a regenerative amplifier, with an output power as high as 4.

It turns out that both materials show very similar spectroscopic parameters relevant to ultrafast lasers design. Employing single-mode fiber-coupled 400-mW laser diode at 976 nm we measured pulses as short as 43 fs, and broad tunability of 40 nm with a simple single-prism setup.
