We have developed a Kerr-lens mode-locked diode-pumped Yb:YAG laser in which the transverse mode is passively stabilized. The mode-locking scheme can be used for various diode-pumped Yb-doped bulk lasers. The pulse duration is as short as 100 fs, which is to our knowledge the shortest pulse ever produced from an Yb:YAG laser. The center wavelength and laser output power are 1051 nm and 151 mW, respectively.
