Abstract
Due to their broadband fluorescence (δλFWHM > 10 nni) Ytterbium (Yb3+) doped laser crystals allow tuning and/or femtosecond generation around λ = 1040 nm. Their high quantum efficiency and small quantum defect (<0.1) are further advantages in the construction of an efficient diode-pumped femtosecond source. Some examples of passively mode-locked Yb34-doped lasers include Yb:YAG,1 Yb:KGW2 and Yb:GdCOB.3
