Abstract
Thanks to a Ti:sapphire crystal fiber grown in our Laboratories, we develop a diode-pumped, 25-mW tunable laser with a 180-nm tuning range. The CF is 2.4-cm long and has an elliptical core with 13/15-μm diameter in the [0001/1100] axes and is cladded with silica. A blazed grating provides wavelength tuning a continuous tuning range of laser emission from 700 to 880 nm, with a slope efficiency of 6.1%.
