Abstract
In this summary we present the first diode- pumped femtosecond Yb:Sr3Y(BO3)3 (also called YbrBOYS) laser. Laser materials suitable for efficient, simple and compact ultrafast laser sources should provide a broad emission bandwidth, should exhibit favorable thermal properties, and should offer the possibility to be directly diode-pumped. Ytterbium-doped crystals look very promising with this respect.
