Article Abstract
We report on the generation of sub-30 fs pulses from a diode-pumped Yb,Gd:YAP laser. Using soft-aperture Kerr-lens mode-locking, soliton pulses as short as 23 fs were achieved at 1082.3 nm, with an average output power of 45 mW at a repetition rate of 67.25 MHz. The mode-locked laser also produced a maximum average output power of 101 mW at 1056.5 nm with a slightly longer pulse duration of 34 fs, corresponding to a peak power of 38.9 kW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of Kerr-lens mode-locked operation in a diode-pumped Yb,Gd:YAP laser, with the shortest pulses ever reported from any Yb-doped perovskite-type crystal.

We present an approach combining reservoir computing and nonlinear dynamics to replicate the behavior of stochastic systems, even when only partial observations are available. Unlike conventional RC applications, our approach systematically evaluates the conditions under which a system can be "strongly" cloned (exact trajectory prediction) versus "weakly" cloned (statistical replication), leveraging external noise excitation to infer hidden dynamics. By applying external noise and analyzing the system response, we demonstrate the feasibility of our approach both theoretically and experimentally.

In this study, we directly measure the transient dioptric lensing in the diode-pumped neodymium-doped yttrium vanadate (Nd:YVO) gain medium using a time-gated wavefront sensor. Pulsed pump-probe measurements of the transient growth and decay of pump-induced lensing clearly distinguish thermal and population lensing mechanisms by their different time signatures.

It employs a double-clad 0.8 mol% PrF-doped ZBLAN fiber as a gain medium and a high-power fiber-coupled 442-nm GaN laser diode module as a pump source.

It is based on detuning the pump wavelength from the resonance of excited-state absorption, F → F, around 1 µm. This scheme is validated using a Tm:LiYF-based laser.
