KYW CRYSTAL OPTIONS

The achieve bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW may be very large in comparison with that of Yb:YAG. This allows for vast wavelength tunability and for Substantially shorter pulse durations from manner-locked lasers. Values well beneath 100 fs have already been reached with passive method locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) c
