CONSIDERATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT KYW CRYSTAL

The obtain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is incredibly big in comparison with that of Yb:YAG. This enables for huge wavelength tunability and for much shorter pulse durations from method-locked lasers. Values effectively under 100 fs are realized with passive method locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) crystal, in compar
