Self-compression and Raman soliton generation in a photonic crystal fiber of 100-fs pulses produced by a diode-pumped Yb-doped oscillator.
We present the use of a photonic crystal fiber to straightforwardly compress ultrashort pulses from a diode-pumped ytterbium laser emitting around 1 microm. 75-fs pulse generation and a large 1-1.3-microm tunability for sub-100-fs pulses is reported.
