Wavelength tuning of a solid-state laser with a tilting mems micromirror

摘要

Wavelength tuning of a Yb:KGW solid-state laser is presented using an electrothermally actuated micromirror and a diffraction grating or dispersing prism. 27 nm and 7.5 nm tuning ranges are achieved using extracavity and intracavity configurations respectively.
