Abstract

We report the room temperature continuous wave Ho:YAP laser double-pass pumped by a diode-pumped Tm:YLF laser. Continuous wave output power of 10.2 W at 2118 nm was obtained under the incident pump power of 19.4 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 64.0% and a conversion efficiency of 52.6%. The laser operated at a single mode (TEM00) with a beam quality factor of M2 ∼ 1.4. A graph is presented.
