Abstract
An efficient 2 μm room temperature Ho:YVO4 laser resonantly pumped by a 1:94 μm Tm:YAP laser is demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, in this Letter. Up to 8:58W of laser output at 2053nm is obtained with the opticalto- optical conversion efficiency as much as 41.2%. The output beam had quality of M2 factor with Mx2 of 3.58 and My 2 of 1.76 at 8W output level. In addition, we also obtained 4:18W laser output at 2066nm and 7:04W at 2040nm from the Ho:YVO4 laser with conversion efficiency of 27.8% and 33.8%, respectively.
