Operation of an end-pumped Yb³âº:CaYAlO4 laser operating in the positive dispersion regime is experimentally investigated. The laser emitted strongly chirped pulses with extremely steep spectral edges, resembling the characteristics of dissipative solitons observed in fiber lasers. The results show that dissipative soliton emission constitutes another operating regime for mode locked Yb³âº-doped solid state lasers, which can be explored for the generation of stable large energy femtosecond pulses.
