CONSIDERATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT KYW CRYSTAL

The attain bandwidth e.g. of Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW is quite substantial compared with that of Yb:YAG. This allows for vast wavelength tunability and for Considerably shorter pulse durations from manner-locked lasers. Values well underneath 100 fs are already realized with passive manner locking.The Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) crystal
