Room-temperature lasing of end-pumped Ho:Lu(3)Al(5)O(12).

Room-temperature lasing at 2.1-microm has been demonstrated in Ho:Lu(3)Al(5)O(12) with a slope efficiency of 82% and a threshold energy of 4.4 mJ. A maximum absorbed energy of 17 mJ yielded 10 mJ of laser output energy. To simulate diode-pumping experiments, a tunable Co:MgF(2) laser operating at 1.878 microm was used to achieve lasing on (5)I(7) ? (5)I(8) transitions.
