Abstract
Many scientific and industrial applications can potentially benefit from high repetition rate, ultrafast short-wave infrared (SWIR) lasers operating at high average power. Modelocked thin-disk lasers are particularly promising in this aspect, as they can outperform amplifier schemes from a simple multi-MHz oscillator. In our work, we demonstrate latest advances in high-power 2µm TDLs, and present a continuous-wave Ho:YAG thin-disk oscillator with a record output power of 112 W, as well as SESAM modelocking of this source with up to 40.5 W of average power.
