Abstract

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 2.13 μm. Acousto-optic switched operation was performed at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from 1 kHz to 10 kHz, the highest pulse energy of 3.3 mJ in a pulse duration of 40 ns was obtained. In room temperature (RT), the maximum CW power of Tm,Ho:YAlO₃ laser was 160 mW with a slope efficiency of 11% corresponding to the absorbed pump power.
