[ALPS8-02] Sub-80-fs all-solid-state Kerr-lens mode-locked laser based on Yb: GdScO₃ crystal

*Si yuan Niu¹ (1. Xidian University)

We report on a Kerr-lens mode-locked laser based on Yb:GdScO₃ crystal for the first time. Pulses as short as 74 fs at 1061.8 nm with an average output power of 182 mW was obtained.
