Femtosecond Cr{sup 4+}:forsterite laser pumped by ytterbium-doped fibre laser and its noise characteristics

A femtosecond Cr{sup 4+}:forsterite laser is fabricated which is pumped by a PYL-10-LP fibre laser and generates a continuous train of 45-fs pulses with a repetition rate of 110 MHz and an average output power of 250 mW. The noise spectra of the femtosecond and solid-state pump lasers are studied. (...
