A highly efficient 670.8-nm high-power narrow-linewidth wavelength-tunable laser source with master oscillator power amplifier structure is demonstrated, which yielded CW output power of 4.5 W with spectral linewidth of 0.3 pm and mode-hop free tuning range of 52 pm (35 GHz). The total conversion efficiency of 20% was achieved. The developed narrow-linewidth tunable laser source can provide better performance than others ever reported at 670.8 nm for many applications, such as laser isotope separation, Bose–Einstein condensation experiments, and mid-infrared laser generation.
