ABSTRACT
The laser diode (LD)-pumped efficient high-power cascade TmGdVO4 laser simultaneously operating on the 3F4 â 3H6 (at â¼2â
µm) and 3H4 â 3H5 (at â¼2.3â
µm) Tm3+ transition was first reported in this paper. The cascade TmGdVO4 laser generated a maximum total continuous-wave (CW) laser output power of 8.42 W with a slope efficiency of 40%, out of which the maximum â¼2.3â
µm CW laser output power was 2.88 W with a slope efficiency of 14%. To our knowledge, 2.88 W is the highest CW laser output power amongst the LD-CW-pumped â¼2.3â
µm Tm3+-doped lasers reported so far.
