HELPING THE OTHERS REALIZE THE ADVANTAGES OF KYW CRYSTAL

The get bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is extremely large in contrast with that of Yb:YAG. This enables for large wavelength tunability and for Substantially shorter pulse durations from manner-locked lasers. Values well beneath 100 fs have been attained with passive method locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) crystal, co
