“…As the area from the CW part in the spectrum is small in comparison to the area of the modelocked spectrum, we conclude that this CW background is negligible compared to the modelocked pulse's energy. The peak slightly above 1050 nm is due to a mismatch in dispersion at that wavelength [35]- [37]. These peaks, called Kelly sidebands, are typical at the edges of broad spectra.…”

We report a compact ultrafast solid-state laser source with a pulse repetition rate continuously tunable in the range of 0.56 -1.23 GHz. The optical cavity design allows a user to vary the repetition rate only by moving positions of two optical components inside the resonator, without a need to exchange components or realignment. The Yb:KYW crystal based cavity emits 250 femtosecond pulses at a central wavelength around 1040 nm, with a self-starting SESAM modelocking. In a robust modelocked operation mode, an average power up to 130 mW is achieved using a stabilized single mode pump diode at a wavelength of 981nm, while the laser in continuous wave (CW) mode delivers up to 270 mW. Atmospheric air cooling was sufficient for both CW and modelocked laser operation. Quite low noise performance was observed, with carrier frequency SNR higher than 80 dB, although the measurements were taken with the open breadboard setup.

“…Recently, Tan et al reported the evidence of DS in an Yb:CaYAlO 4 (Yb:CYA) laser for the first time [10], the result has implied that the DS operation can exist in the positive cavity dispersion modelocking regime of the Yb doped solid state lasers. However, there are only several Yb-doped solid state bulk lasers have realized the DS operation [11,12].…”

We experimentally demonstrate the dissipative soliton mode-locking operation of a Yb:YSO laser by using an all-normal dispersion cavity. Strongly chirped pulses are obtained with pulse duration of 9.3 ps at a repetition rate of 113.4 MHz. The central wavelength is 1082 nm with 3.1 nm FWHM bandwidth. A dual-wavelength synchronously mode-locking operation at central wavelengths of 1059.2 nm and 1082.2 nm is also reported. Stable mode-locked pulses are achieved with pulse duration of 10 ps and total average output power of 164 mW. Periodic ultrashort beat pulses with pulse duration of 169 fs at an ultrahigh repetition rate of 1.4 THz can be distinctly observed from the measured autocorrelation trace. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of dual-wavelength synchronously mode-locking operation from a Yb:YSO laser.

We report on sub-40 fs pulse generation from a Yb:Sc2SiO5 laser pumped by a spatially single-mode fiber-coupled laser diode at 976 nm. A maximum output power of 545 mW was obtained at 1062.6 nm in the continuous-wave regime, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 64% and a laser threshold of 143 mW. A continuous wavelength tuning across 80 nm (1030 -1110 nm) was also achieved. Implementing a SESAM for starting and stabilizing the mode-locked operation, the Yb:Sc2SiO5 laser delivered soliton pulses as short as 38 fs at 1069.5 nm with an average output power of 76 mW at a pulse repetition rate of ∼79.8 MHz. The maximum output power was scaled to 216 mW for slightly longer pulses of 42 fs, which corresponded to a peak power of 56.6 kW and an optical efficiency of 22.7%. To the best of our knowledge, these results represent the shortest pulses ever achieved with any Yb3+-doped rare-earth oxyorthosilicate crystal.
