FACTS ABOUT KYW CRYSTAL REVEALED

The gain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is quite huge compared with that of Yb:YAG. This enables for huge wavelength tunability and for A lot shorter pulse durations from method-locked lasers. Values properly under one hundred fs are actually achieved with passive mode locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) crystal, when co
