Abstract: A sealed tunable laser was constructed using semiconductor solutions with a composition gradient along the surface and electron guns producing wedge-shaped beams. The pulse output of a GaAsP laser reached 100 W in the spectral range 0.65–0.81 μ. The rate of tuning of the emission wavelength could be up to 1 nm/nsec.
