Abstract
Direct sub- pulse generation is demonstrated with a mode-locked Yb: laser. With external compression, pulses as short as are generated at . The oscillator operating at a repetition rate of is pumped by a two-section distributed Bragg reflector tapered diode laser and mode locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The onset of self-Raman-conversion for pulse spectral bandwidths exceeding (FWHM) is observed.
