  • Abstract
    In this work we report the first realisation of a Nd:ScYSiO5 laser mode-locked by semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). We achieve a stable train of picosecond pulses having 5.7 ps pulse duration and average output power of 150 mW at repetition rate of 99 MHz, as well as dual-wavelength mode-locking with output power of 500 mW.
