✦ Synopsis
We report a passively mode-locked Yb:Y2Ca3(BO3)4 (Yb:CYB) laser with a partially reflective semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror. The minimum pulse duration of 244-fs with a repetition rate of ∼ 55 MHz has been obtained at the central wavelength of 1044.7 nm (8.1 nm full width at half maximum (FWHM)). The measured average output power amounts to 261 mW under the absorbed pump power of 7.0 W. To our best knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a femtosecond Yb:CYB laser.
