FLINT
The FLINT oscillator is based on Yb:KGW crystal end-pumping by high brightness laser diode module. Generation of femtosecond pulses is provided by Kerr lens modelocking, which is induced by perturbation of the cavity length. Once started, modelocking remains stable over long period of time and is immune to minor mechanical impact. Chirped mirrors and a prism pair are used in a laser cavity to adjust precisely the group velocity dispersion and cavity length.
