  • Abstract
    A compact, fundamental-repetition-rate modelocked, optically-pumped Er:Yb:glass laser producing near transform-limited picosecond pulses at a repetition rate of 10.67 GHz and average power exceeding 10 mW is presented. Wavelength tuning over the entire C-band is demonstrated at 2 GHz
