Abstract

Ultrafast ring-cavity thin-disk oscillators combine high output power with the flexibility of generating output either unidirectionally or bidirectionally. Here, we report a Kerr-lens mode-locked ring-cavity Yb:YAG thin-disk oscillator delivering unidirectional 89-fs pulses by inducing additional spectral broadening with nonlinear plates. This is the shortest pulse duration for a ring-cavity mode-locked thin-disk oscillator. Bidirectional mode-locking was also realized. These results lay the foundation for the more efficient generation of high-order harmonics at MHz repetition rates and high-power dual frequency combs.
