Abstract

Room temperature single-longitudinal-mode operation of a c-cut Tm(5%), Ho(0.3%):YAP microchip laser pumped by a fiber-coupled diode-laser is reported. An incident pump power of 3.06 W is used to generate the maximum single-frequency output power of 42 mW at 2102.6 nm, corresponding to optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 1.4%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to report of Tm,Ho:YAP microchip laser operation on single-frequency at room temperature.
