摘要: A LD-pumped novel Yb,Y:CaF2 femtosecond laser is demonstrated for the first time. The continuous-wave and mode-locked operational characteristics of co-doped fluoride crystal are described in detail. With intracavity dispersion management using a prism-pair, 330 fs pulse at centre wavelength 1049 nm obtained. average output power 224 mW repetition rate ~83 MHz.
