Yb: CaGdAlO4, or Yb: CALGO, a new laser crystal, has been attracting increasing attention
recently in a myriad of laser technologies. This crystal features salient thermal, spectroscopic …

Pulses as short as 17.8 fs with a spectral bandwidth of 145 nm and central wavelength of
1118 nm have been generated from a Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: CALGO oscillator. The …

Ultrafast thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillators provide higher intracavity pulse energy, average
power, and peak power levels than any other femtosecond laser oscillator technology. They …

We originally exploit the vortex beams with patterns of closed polygons [namely, polygonal
vortex beams (PVBs)] generated by a quasi-frequency-degenerate (QFD) Yb: CALGO laser …

We reported a high-power pure Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: CALYO laser based on the dual-
confocal cavity delivering sub-100-fs pulses. The output pulses at 81 MHz have an average …

Lasers with high average and high peak power as well as ultrashort pulse width have been
all along demanded by nonlinear optics studies, strong-field experiments, electron dynamics …

So far, the operation of ultrafast bulk laser oscillators based on Yb-doped gain materials and
directly emitting few-cycle pulses have been restricted to low optical-to-optical efficiencies …

We investigate power-scaling of a Kerr lens mode-locked (KLM) Yb: Lu_2O_3 thin-disk laser
(TDL) oscillator operating in the sub-100-fs pulse duration regime. Employing a scheme with …

We demonstrated a diode-pumped high-power Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb: CaYAlO_4 (Yb:
CALYO) laser with a dual-confocal cavity, directly generating 59-fs pulses with 6.2 W …

We report a method to realize the periodic trajectory controlling, coherent-state phase
switching, and wavelength tuning of SU (2) geometric modes (GMs) in a frequency …
