Abstract
Diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked laser operations of ceramics have been achieved. pulses with the average power of under incident pump power were obtained at a center wavelength of . The optical-to-optical efficiency was 21.9%. pulses with the average power of were also obtained at a center wavelength of . To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a Kerr-lens mode-locked laser.
