Abstract
The design and performance of diode-pumped Cr:LiSGAF lasers mode-locke d by Kerr-lens made-locking and a solid-state saturable absorber are d escribed, The different regimes of operation of the laser made-locked by the saturable absorber are discussed. Both lasers generate 100-fs p ulses with average powers of 40 mW and low fluctuations.
