Summary form only given. Ytterbium doped laser media are well suited for diode pumping and have favorable spectroscopic properties for compact high average power lasers emitting either tunable or ultrashort infrared radiation. In our previous work, we have demonstrated YCa/sub 4/O(BO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ (YCOB), to have some advantages such as broad wavelength tunability and the capability of self-frequency doubling. We have investigated the potential of Yb:YCOB under diode pumping utilizing widely available 980 nm diodes. Additional experiments were performed to show laser operation of Yb:YCOB under 900 nm pumping using a tunable CW Ti-sapphire.
