High-repetition-rate Yb-doped lasers for frequency comb generation

The research presented in this thesis addresses the development of directly diode pumped Yb3+:KY(WO4)2 and Yb:fibre lasers, operating at several-hundred-MHz repetition frequencies and investigates their suitability as the basis of high-efficiency, convenient, low-cost and moderate precision optical...
