We demonstrated the compensation of thermal lens effect regardless of pumping condition by inserting a solid-state CE, compensating element, having negative dn/dT property between two rods. This ...

We experimentally demonstrated a diode-pumped pure Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond laser based on a Yb:YAG ceramic. Pulses with 97 fs pulse width, 2.8 nJ pulse energy and 320 mW average power were ...
