Abstract :
Wide range tunability of 148 nm, with a maximum output power of 25 mW has been obtained from a diode pumped CW Cr:LiSAF laser operated in single-longitudinal mode, using a coupled cavity arrangement with a diffraction grating. Wavelength tuning with an expanded beam on the grating by an anamorphic prism pair is effective for linewidth narrowing
