HELPING THE OTHERS REALIZE THE ADVANTAGES OF KYW CRYSTAL

The obtain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is rather significant in comparison with that of Yb:YAG. This allows for broad wavelength tunability and for Considerably shorter pulse durations from mode-locked lasers. Values well under a hundred fs are actually obtained with passive manner locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW)
