Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of secant hyperbolic pulses at a repetition rate with an average power of from a diode-pumped mode-locked laser. A semiconductor saturable absorber allows passive mode locking, and a diode laser is used to pump directly the crystal. To our knowledge this represents the highest average power ever obtained for a sub- diode-pumped Yb-bulk laser.
