Watt-level 10-gigahertz solid-state laser enabled by self-defocusing nonlinearities in an aperiodically poled crystal

Ultrafast lasers with multi-gigahertz repetition rates are desirable for applications requiring high sampling rates or resolvable frequency comb lines. Here, Mayer et al. use cascading of quadratic nonlinearities to passively modelock a femtosecond solid-state laser at a repetition rate of 10 GHz.
