We demonstrate an in-well pumped high-power hybrid MECSEL (H-MECSEL) formed by sandwiching the MQW semiconductor gain membrane between two SiC heat spreaders, one of which is mirrored with a DBR. We obtain 28 W CW output power around 1178 nm with a slope efficiency of 38% using multipass pumping at 1070 nm. Employing intracavity spectral filtering and frequency doubling, we demonstrate single-mode operation with 8 W of output power at 589 nm and a linewidth of ~4 MHz. We demonstrate preliminary (low-power) wavelength stabilization to the Na D2a transition. Work is underway for full power stabilization towards an on-sky demonstration.
