  • Abstract
    Pulsed laser action at 77°K has been demonstrated in LiYF4:Er3+, Ho3+with an emission wavelength of 2.066 μ. The laser transition is the5 I_{7} \\rightarrow 5I8in trivalent holmium, and there is evidence of energy transfer from erbium to holmium. The fluorescent lifetime is approximately 20 ms, and the pulsed threshold is 40 joules.
