摘要：

We obtained 74-kW peak power and 3.5-W average output power in l-ps pulses from a diode-pumped Yb:YAG laser at 1030 nm that was passively mode locked with a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror. Another laser produced 57-kW peak power and as much as 8.1-W average output power in 2.2-ps pulses, split into two nearly diffraction-limited beams (M-2 < 1.2). TO OUT knowledge, these are by far the highest reported peak and average output powers from a diode-pumped mode-locked laser in this pulse-duration regime. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America. OCIS codes: 140.3480, 140.4050, 140.5680, 140.6810.
