Abstract

We report on a volume-Bragg-grating tunable Yb:KYW laser. By using s-polarized light on the grating, we obtain an output power of 3 W in a single beam, doubled compared to earlier p-polarization results. The laser tunability was from 996 nm to 1048 nm. Detailed measurements of the laser spectrum revealed a bandwidth of 10 GHz.
