Abstract
In the quest to achieve compact and reliable ultrafast laser systems dedicated to industrial applications (micromachining, eye surgery, microanalysis), Yb-doped materials turn out to be very promising laser materials, partly due to the constantly increasing performances of commercially available laserdiodes. We demonstrate here a multi-kilohertz femtosecond system directly pumped by a single fiber-coupled diode, providing enough energy per pulse for most of these applications.
