Abstract

Investigating from the classical theory of the birefringent filter (BF), we calculate out the appropriate parameters that fit for the high power tunable Ti: sapphire laser experiment greatly. Then from the experiment we validate its effect and achieve continuous tuning from 750 nm to 920 nm with the maximum output power of 5.8 W and average power of 3.83 W that tops this field so far..
