We report on sub-50 fs pulse generation from a passively mode-locked (ML) Tm, Ho-
codoped crystalline laser operating in a 2 µm spectral region. A \rmTm,\rmHo:\rmCa(\rmGd …

Until recently, ceramic materials were considered unsuitable for optics due to the numerous
scattering sources, such as grain boundaries and residual pores. However, in the 1990s the …

A novel laser crystal Nd: CaGd 0.1 Y 0.9 AlO 4 (Nd 3+: Ca (Y, Gd) AlO 4) crystal has been
successfully grown by Czochralski (CZ) method. With the introduction of Gd 3+ ions, this …

Disordered crystals have attracted immense attention for the generation of ultrashort laser
pulses due to their good thermomechanical characteristics and wide emission bandwidths …

We report on a Kerr-lens mode-locked laser based on an Yb^ 3+-doped disordered calcium
