GETTING MY KYW CRYSTAL TO WORK

The acquire bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW may be very huge compared with that of Yb:YAG. This enables for broad wavelength tunability and for Significantly shorter pulse durations from mode-locked lasers. Values perfectly underneath 100 fs are actually attained with passive mode locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) cryst
