摘要：

We demonstrate a narrowband, continuously tunable Yb: KYW laser locked by a volume Bragg grating at oblique incidence in a retroreflector configuration. The tuning range was 997 nm to 1050 nm (15 THz) with bandwidth < 0.1 nm and a maximum output power of 4.7 W. In a high- quality beam with M-2 < 1.3, the maximum output power was 1.7 W. We also demonstrate 3 W output power at 1064 nm from the same Yb: KYW laser with the grating at normal incidence. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
