This work proposes a method of compressing spectral linewidth and tuning the central wavelength of multiple high-power diode laser arrays in an external cavity feedback structure based on one volume Bragg grating (VBG). Through the combination of beam collimation and spatial beam technologies, a diode laser source producing 102.1 W at an operating current of 40 A is achieved. This laser source has a central wavelength of 766 nm and a narrow spectral linewidth of 0.164 nm. Moreover, a tuning central wavelength ranging from 776–766.231 nm is realized by precisely controlling the temperature of the VBG, and the locked central wavelength as a function of temperature shifts at the rate of approximately 0.0076 nm/°C. The results further prove that the smile under 1 μm can restrain the self-excitation effect of the emitting laser, which can influence the efficiency of the potassium alkali metal vapor laser pumping.
