Abstract
We report a continuous-wave (CW) 2.1-\mum Ho:YAG laser operating at room temperature pumped by a diode-pumped 1.94-\mum Tm:YAP laser. The maximum output power of 1.5 W is obtained from Ho:YAG laser, corresponding to Tm-to-Ho slope efficiency of 17.9% and diode-to-Ho conversion efficiency of 5.6%.
