Abstract The nonlinear refractive index n2 of Yb3+:KY(WO4)2 crystal has been measured using picosecond Z-scan technique. The magnitude of n2 was found to be 8.7 × 10−16 cm2/W at wavelength of 1.08 μm. The numerical modeling based on fluctuation model showed a great potential of this crystal as active medium for Kerr-lens mode-locking.
