Applied Physics/Condensed Matter/Materials Science encompasses the resources of three related disciplines: Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Materials Science. The applied physics resources are concerned with the applications of topics in condensed matter as well as optics, vacuum science, lasers, electronics, cryogenics, magnets and magnetism, acoustical physics and mechanics. The condensed matter physics resources are concerned with the study of the structure and the thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of condensed matter. They include superconductivity, surfaces, interfaces, thin films, dielectrics, ferroelectrics and semiconductors. The materials science resources are concerned with the physics and chemistry of materials and include ceramics, composites, alloys, metals and metallurgy, nanotechnology, nuclear materials, adhesion and adhesives. Resources dealing with polymeric materials are listed in the Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category.

We present a detailed continuous-wave regime characterization and, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, SESAM mode-locked femtosecond operation with a monoclinic, Yb3+-doped, MgWO4 crystal. Pumping with a low-power, single-mode fiber-coupled laser diode emitting at 976 nm, we demonstrate threshold for continuous-wave (cw) operation as low as 50 mW (absorbed pump power) and slope efficiency up to similar to 60% (with respect to the absorbed pump power) for two of the principal emission polarizations. The output wavelength in the cw regime is continuously tunable over a similar to 50 nm broad range. Mode-locking the laser with a SESAM, we achieve almost Fourier-transform limited pulses with a duration of 132 and 125 fs depending on the polarization.
