RUMORED BUZZ ON KYW CRYSTAL

The obtain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is very massive compared with that of Yb:YAG. This allows for broad wavelength tunability and for much shorter pulse durations from method-locked lasers. Values nicely underneath 100 fs are accomplished with passive method locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) crystal, in compariso
