Abstract
We report on an extended-cavity mode-locked laser based on an Yb:CALGO crystal operating either at and pulse duration or at and duration single-pulse regime. To the best of our knowledge this is the first demonstration of an extended-cavity oscillator based on Yb-doped crystal producing sub- pulses. The pulse energy was directly at the output of the oscillator (and after compression). Based on a similar design, we also demonstrate an unprecedented double-pulse dual-wavelength femtosecond regime. An explanation of this atypical regime is proposed.
