HOW KYW CRYSTAL CAN SAVE YOU TIME, STRESS, AND MONEY.

The gain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is extremely big in contrast with that of Yb:YAG. This allows for large wavelength tunability and for much shorter pulse durations from manner-locked lasers. Values well below a hundred fs are actually obtained with passive manner locking.The comparison with glasses is acceptable Because the substantial
