Abstract

We present new solutions of a diode-pumped, cw Yb:YAG laser that is of interest for applications in spectroscopy and metrology. The proposed schemes permit producing of the emission in a single pumped volume at two independently tunable wavelengths, including single-mode regime. A passively self-injection (PSIL) controlled operation that ensures low threshold and high output is presented. The peculiarities of the two-wavelength operation of the considered laser are carried out. The laser operates in the range 1028 - 1035 nmw with a total output power of 0.4 - 0.7 W.
