GETTING MY KYW CRYSTAL TO WORK

The obtain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is extremely substantial when compared with that of Yb:YAG. This permits for broad wavelength tunability and for Significantly shorter pulse durations from manner-locked lasers. Values properly down below one hundred fs are already attained with passive mode locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tung
