Abstract

In this paper we report on laser diode end-pumped single longitudinal mode and optical bistability Tm,Ho:YLF lasers at room temperature. The maximal output power of single longitudinal mode can reach 106 mW by using only a 250 μm thick solid etalon. The single longitudinal mode laser can be used as a seed laser for laser lidar systems. Furthermore, for the first time, the phenomenon of low threshold optical bistability of Tm,Ho:YLF laser at room temperature is observed.
