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 
5I8 in 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.
