Advanced Solid State Lasers (ASSL) © OSA 2014 Fig. 1: Rayleigh range for Optical pumping with low brightness (left) and High brightness (right) Abstract: The exceptional brightness of an Yb fiber pump laser allows to measure unexpectedly high gain in Yb amplifiers, achieve pure Kerr-lens mode-locking and demonstrate the shortest fs pulse ever generated with an Yb oscillator.
