Abstract

A high efficient, continuous wave (CW), cryogenic operation of c-cut Tm(5 at.%),Ho(0.3 at.%):YAlO3 (YAP) laser was reported in this paper. In the temperature of 77K, the Tm,Ho:YAP crystal was double end-pumped by double 7.25-W fiber-coupled laser diodes (LDs) at the center wavelength of 793.3 nm. A mirror of high reflector (HR) with a 300-mm radius of curvature acted as a resonator mirror, the output wavelength of laser was 2044 nm; the flat output coupler (OC) was 30% transmission at 2.044 μm, a CW output power of 2.28 W was ac-quired, corresponding to an optical-optical conversion efficiency of 15.7% and a slope efficiency of 19.3%.
