  • Abstract
    The design and performance of diode-pumped Cr:LiSrGaAlF6 lasers mode-locked by Kerr-lens mode-locking and a solid-state saturable absorber are described. The different regimes of operation of the laser mode-locked by the saturable absorber are discussed. Both lasers generate 100-fs pulses with average powers of 40 mW and low fluctuations
