  "abstract": "We report on an Yb:YAB laser pumped by a spatially single-mode, low-power, fiber-coupled InGaAs laser diode at 976 nm, delivering soliton pulses as short as 36 fs at 1059.7 nm via soft-aperture Kerr-lens mode-locking. The average output power amounts to 156 mW at a pulse repetition rate of ~66.7 MHz. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first demonstration of Kerr-lens mode-locked operation with the Yb:YAB crystal, and the shortest pulses ever achieved from an Yb:YAB laser.",
