AbstractThin epilayers of monoclinic KLu(WO4)2 doped with thulium are grown by liquid phase epitaxy on undoped KLu(WO4 )2 substrates. The epitaxial composites are optically characterized and implemented in a cavity, longitudinally pumped (normal to the layer) by a Ti:sapphire laser. Tunable (1894-2039 nm) continuous-wave laser operation is achieved with maximum slope efficiency as high as 64% with respect to the absorbed pump power at 802 nm. The output power is limited by the crystal absorption

Abstract
Thin epilayers of monoclinic KLu(WO4)2 doped with thulium are grown by liquid phase epitaxy on undoped KLu(WO4 )2 substrates. The epitaxial composites are optically characterized and implemented in a cavity, longitudinally pumped (normal to the layer) by a Ti:sapphire laser. Tunable (1894-2039 nm) continuous-wave laser operation is achieved with maximum slope efficiency as high as 64% with respect to the absorbed pump power at 802 nm. The output power is limited by the crystal absorption
