Abstract
We demonstrate on a high-power 1-GHz Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) ytterbium (Yb):CYA laser delivering 149-fs pulses with an average power of 11.1 W. The corresponding single-pulse energy and peak power are 10.3 nJ and 60.8 kW, respectively. The mode-locking operation can be consistently sustained with root mean square (RMS) values of power fluctuations of only 0.52% for 100 min. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average power ever reported from a GHz femtosecond mode-locked oscillator.
期刊介绍：
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
