A high-power semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM)-passively modelocked TEM00 Nd:YAG oscillator based on a diode-side-pumped single laser head is reported. This laser provides 21.4 W of average power at a repetition-rate of 82 MHz with 18 ps pulse duration. This laser could be an essential part in future high flux monochromatic compact X-ray source systems.
