    CW laser operation around 2-μm in (Tm,Yb):KLu(WO4) 2
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2010) Segura, M.; Mateos, X.; Pujol, M.C.; Carvajal, J.J.; Petrov, V.; Aguiló, M.; Díaz, F.
    Laser generation in continuous wave (CW) regime at 1.94-μm from (Tm,Yb) codoped system has been investigated in two different hosts: KLu(WO 4)2 and KY(WO4)2. The high quality crystals were grown by the Top-Seeded Solution Growth Slow Cooling (TSSG-SC) method with doping levels of 2.5 at. %Tm and 5 at. %Yb. The active media were pumped with a diode laser at 980 nm. We demonstrated the superior performance of KLu(WO4)2 compared to that of KY(WO4) 2 and improved the results already obtained in the literature. The maximum laser output power reached was 157 mW for (Tm,Yb):KLu(WO 4)2 and 123 mW for (Tm,Yb):KY(WO4)2. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Diode-pumped continuous-wave laser operation of co-doped (Ho,Tm):KLu(WO4)2 monoclinic crystal
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2013) Jambunathan, V.; Mateos, X.; Cinta Pujol, M.; Josep Carvajal, J.; Griebner, U.; Petrov, V.; Aguiló, M.; Díaz, F.
    We report on room-temperature continuous-wave laser operation at 2.06 μm in co-doped (0.5 at% Ho, 5.0 at% Tm):KLu(WO4)2 monoclinic crystal pumped at 805 nm by a commercially available AlGaAs diode laser stack. A maximum output power of 93 mW and a slope efficiency of 14.7% with respect to absorbed power were achieved.
