KYW CRYSTAL - AN OVERVIEW

The achieve bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW may be very massive as opposed with that of Yb:YAG. This allows for vast wavelength tunability and for Substantially shorter pulse durations from manner-locked lasers. Values well beneath one hundred fs are actually achieved with passive mode locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW)
