Abstract
We report for the first time pulsed laser operation of the Yb-doped Li6Y(BO3)3 (Yb-LYB) crystal in the nanosecond as well as in the femtosecond regime. Pulse durations as short as 355 fs have been obtained in passively mode-locked operation and pulse energies up to 140 μJ in Q-switched operation.
