Abstract:
We report on the dissipative soliton operation of a diode pumped Yb:NaY(WO₄)₂ (Yb:NYW) solid-state laser. The dissipative solitons and their features as the net cavity group velocity dispersion is changed from the normal to the anomalous dispersion regime are experimentally investigated. Taking advantage of the dissipative soliton shaping of the mode-locked pulses we have generated stable near transform-limited pulses as short as 54 fs. To our knowledge, this is so far the shortest pulse directly obtained from the mode-locked Yb:NYW oscillator.
