Abstract

We have developed a cavity-dumped mode-locked ytterbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Yb:YAG) laser. An optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 34.8% was obtained with a pulse width of 15 ps at a repetition rate of 100 kHz. To our knowledge, this efficiency is the highest in cavity-dumped mode-locked lasers.

Key Words
