Continuous-wave laser action around 2-microm in Ho3+:Lu2SiO5.

Continuous-wave (cw) laser action around 2 microm in Ho(3+)-doped Lu(2)SiO(5) (LSO) was demonstrated in this paper. Cryogenically cooled by liquid nitrogen, a 10-mm long Tm-sensitized (6% at.) Ho(0.

Room temperature efficient actively Q-switched Ho:YAP laser.

We report on efficient actively Q-switched Ho:YAP laser double-pass pumped by a 1.91-microm laser. At room temperature, when the incident pump power was 20.

Continuous-wave and Q-switched operation of a resonantly pumped Ho:YAlO3 laser.

We demonstrated continuous-wave (CW) and Q-switched operation of a room-temperature Ho:YAlO(3) laser that is resonantly end-pumped by a diode-pumped Tm:YLF laser at 1.91 microm. The CW Ho:YAlO(3) laser generated 5.

7.3 W of single-frequency output power at 2.09 mum from an Ho:YAG monolithic nonplanar ring laser.

Single-frequency output power of 7.3 W at 2.09 mum from a monolithic Ho:YAG nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) is demonstrated.

Diode-pumped continuous wave and Q-switched operation of a c-cut Tm,Ho:YAlO(3) laser.

We report on a diode-pumped, cryogenic and room temperature operation of a Tm,Ho:YAlO3 (c-cut) laser. In a temperature of 77 K, an optical-optical conversion efficiency of 27% and a slope efficiency of 29% were achieved with the maximum continuous-wave (CW) output power of 5.0 W at 2.
