title: Performance of Yb:Sc₂SiO₅ crystal in diode-pumped femtosecond oscillator and regenerative amplifier.
abstract: Yb:Sc2SiO5 has been investigated in a low-power laser femtosecond oscillator pumped by 400-mW single-mode fiber-coupled diode at 976 nm. Pulses as short as 71 fs were achieved. The same crystal was later employed in a regenerative amplifier, with an output power as high as 4.7 W at 500 kHz and sub-300-fs pulses.
