In a first for the field, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have pulled off a laser first: they built a new kind of eye-safe laser that works ...

Summary from only given. We present a simple passively modelocked diode-pumped Yb:KGd(WO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ (Yb:KGW) laser. We achieved pulses as short as 150 fs and an average output power of 1.5 W by ...

We demonstrate a pulsed ytterbium-doped fiber master-oscillator power amplifier source at 1060 nm producing over 300 W of average power in 20-ps pulses at 1-GHz repetition rate. The pulses generated ...
