Here we report on the realisation and spectral characterisation of custom-made narrow-band DFB laser diodes emitting at 894 nm.

Summary from only given. We present a simple passively modelocked diode-pumped Yb:KGd(WO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ (Yb:KGW) laser. We achieved pulses as short as 150 fs and an average output power of 1.5 W by ...
