Description

We demonstrate a high-efficiency continuous-wave Tm:YAG ceramic laser pumped with a Ti:sapphire laser. An output power up to 860 mW is obtained under an absorbed pump power of 2.21 W at 785nm, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 42.1% and optical to optical efficiency of 22%. The measured central wavelength is 2012 nm. (fundamental areas of phenomenology (including applications))
