Abstract
The cw and femtosecond laser operations of (Yb:CYA) are demonstrated. The laser emitted a maximum cw power of with a slope efficiency () of 71% and an optical-to-optical efficiency () of 51%. Under mode-locking operation, the laser emitted near transform-limited pulses with pulse width, pulse energy and average power. The and of the mode-locked laser were 37% and 20%, respectively.
