  • Abstract
    Recently, we have demonstrated the first passively mode-locked Yb:glass channel waveguide laser operating with a repetition rate of 4.9 GHz. In this work we report the pulse repetition frequency as high as 15.2 GHz from a diode-pumped Yb:glass waveguide laser which produces a pulse duration of 811 fs with an output power of 27 mW at around 1047 nm.
