Abstract A novel method is developed to obtain 1.05μm laser operation with a Yb:YAG laser. By using a Yb:YAG crystal with proper length and doping concentration, a femtosecond Yb:YAG laser is realized at the central wavelength of 1053nm. The measured pulse duration and spectral bandwidth (FWHM) are 170fs and 7nm; the repetition rate is 80MHz. Under a power pump of 2W, an average mode-locking power of 180mW is achieved.
