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 …

Lasers based on Cr^ 2+-doped II-VI material, often known as the Ti: Sapphire of the mid-
infrared, can directly provide few-cycle pulses with octave-spanning spectra, and serve as …

We investigate Kerr lens mode locking of Yb: Lu_2O_3 thin-disk laser oscillators operating
in the sub-100-fs regime. Pulses as short as 35 fs were generated at an average output …

We experimentally investigate the limits of pulse duration in a Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:
YAG thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. Thanks to its excellent mechanical and optical …

We demonstrate an efficient 102-MW peak power, 103-W average power, Kerr-lens mode-
locked thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator generating 52-fs pulses at 17.1-MHz repetition rate …

We demonstrate that Kerr lens modelocking is well-suited for operating an ultrafast thin-disk
laser with intra-oscillator high harmonic generation (HHG) in the 100-fs pulse duration …

A compact Kerr-lens mode-locked thin-disk oscillator reproducibly delivering 110 MW output
peak power, the highest among all oscillators, is reported. This simple and stable …

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 demonstrate broadband high-power terahertz (THz) generation at megahertz repetition
rates by optical rectification in GaP driven by an ultrafast Yb-based thin-disk laser (TDL) …

Abstract Thin-disk laser technology [1, 2] combines the inherent advantages of allowing
extremely high average power, excellent beam quality, and high peak power levels [3]. In …
