Abstract
A promising scheme of ytterbium mode-locked laser using a multimode pump source has been developed. Record differential efficiency (40%) and full optical efficiency (35%) have been obtained. This makes it possible to develop compact laser systems, such as precision mobile femtosecond synthesizers. The characteristics of the laser and ways of improving its efficiency are discussed.
