Abstract

Based on the energy transfer between ions and the transition between energy levels of diode-end-pumped Tm,Ho:YLF laser, under the consideration of energy transfer up-conversion, the threshold rate equations are given, and the analytical formulas of laser threshold are deduced from rate-equations. The relations between laser threshold and laser designing parameters are derived. The dependence of energy transfer up-conversion on the laser designing parameters is analyzed in detail. Experiments on Tm,Ho:YLF crystals are performed to validate the present model.
