Description
High-power laser oscillators are a simple, compact and reliable alternative to multi-stage laser amplifier systems. In particular, Kerr lens mode-locked (KLM) thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillators are capable of generating directly sub-100-femtosecond pulse durations at megahertz repetition rates and high average powers. Peak powers at the mega-watt level enable to drive non-linear processes outside as well as inside the laser cavity. We present recent advances in ultrafast KLM TDL oscillators and discuss their application for broadband THz and intracavity high harmonic generation.
