Abstract
We present first experimental investigations on Ytterbium-doped Sc 2 SiO 5 as a promising gain medium for thin-disk lasers. This oxyorthosilicate laser material combines good thermo-mechanical properties and a broad emission bandwidth suitable for high-power cw and mode-locked laser operation. The demonstrated average output powers of up to 75 W with a not yet optimized thin-disk crystal confirm the power capability of this new material and preliminary tests on passive mode-locking indicate the high potential for future ultrafast thin-disk laser oscillators.
