Abstract
The operation of an end-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked self-starting Nd: YAG laser is reported. Without an intracavity aperture near bandwidth- limited pulses with a pulse length of 6.7 ps were generated. The maxim um average output power exceeded 675 mW at a repetition rate of 106 MH z and a pump power of 2 W.
