Abstract :
A design for a 20 W-sub-20 ps class mode-locked Nd:YAG oscillator is proposed.It demonstrates that Nd:YAG still has the potential to produce higher average power picosecond pulses with a single oscillator laser head and might be a good candidate to be part of a high flux compact X-ray source.
