Abstract
In this paper we present a simple passively mode- locked diode-pumped Yb:KGW laser. We achieved pulses as short as 150 fs and an average output power of 1.5 W by using a 15 W fiber-coupled laserdiode to pump the laser crystal, and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) to initiate passive mode locking.
