Abstract :
We report to the best of our knowledge on the first green laser operation of a Pr3+-doped crystalline waveguide laser. Furthermore red and deep red laser operation with output powers of > 1 W and >500 mW was achieved. The optical-to-optical efficiency was as high as 31% and 19%, respectively.
