title: Passively modelocked, diode-pumped Yb:KYW femtosecond oscillator with 1 GHz repetition rate.
abstract: We demonstrate a high repetition rate, single mode fiber-coupled diode pumped, Yb:KYW laser in a four mirror ring cavity configuration and study its performance in soft aperture, Kerr lens mode-locked operation at around 1.04 microm.
