  • Abstract
    Ytterbium-based laser systems have demonstrated promise as alternatives to neodymium-laser systems in high power laser applications. Ytterbium systems are particularly well suited for diode pumping and have previously demonstrated wavelength tunability when doped into YAG. We summarize our experiments with ytterbium doped into a new laser host material, YCa4B3O10 (YCOB), which provides at least 70 nm of wavelength tunability
