HELPING THE OTHERS REALIZE THE ADVANTAGES OF KYW CRYSTAL

The get bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is quite significant in comparison with that of Yb:YAG. This permits for broad wavelength tunability and for much shorter pulse durations from method-locked lasers. Values very well below 100 fs are accomplished with passive mode locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) crystal, when com
