Abstract

Ytterbium (Yb³⁺) doped rare-earth oxyorthosilicates with a general chemical formula of Yb³⁺:RE₂SiO₅ (where RE = Gd [1], Y [2], Lu [3] or Sc [4]), crystallize in the monoclinic system (sp. gr. C2/c, $C_{2 h}^{6}$ ). One of the well-known representatives of this crystal family is the scandium oxyorthosilicate Yb:Sc₂SiO₅. It exhibits a relatively high thermal conductivity of 7.5 Wm^-1K^-1 (for 1 at.% Yb³⁺ doping) at room temperature and a negative thermo-optic coefficient of -6.3 × 10^-6 K^-1 [5], which ensures good heat removal and a relatively weak thermal lensing effect. The broad gain profiles and the moderate luminescence lifetime (0.7 ms) of Yb:Sc₂SiO₅ make it very suitable for the development of femtosecond mode-locked (ML) oscillators and amplifiers [6]. Power scalable operation of such oscillators is also possible in the thin-disk architecture. In this work, we demonstrate sub-40 fs soliton pulse generation from a diode-pumped SESAM ML Yb:Sc₂SiO₅ laser near 1070 nm.
