1.2-GHz repetition rate, diode-pumped femtosecond Yb:KYW laser mode-locked by a CNT saturable absorber

We demonstrate a 1.2-GHz repetition rate, diode-pumped carbon nanotube (CNT)-mode-locked Yb:KYW laser with 168 fs pulse duration. To our knowledge, this corresponds to the highest repetition rate from CNT-mode-locked femtosecond bulk solid-state lasers.
