  • Abstract
    Efficient continuous-wave laser operation of in-band pumped Er3+:YVO4 and Er3+:KY(WO4)2 crystals was demonstrated. Maximum slope efficiency of 61 % and output power of 50 mW at 1603 nm was obtained for Er3+:YVO4 crystal, for Er3+:KY(WO4)2 crystal maximum slope efficiency of 27 % with output power of 35 mW at 1609 nm was realized.
