73-nm tuning of a double-clad Yb3+-doped fiber laser based on a hybrid array [PDF]

, 2008
We report on a wide wavelength tuning in a double-clad ytterbium-doped fiber laser. The laser cavity consists of an array of broadband high-reflection fiber Bragg gratings and a bulk grating as the output coupler and wavelength selection element.
