Abstract
We report on the cascade continuous-wave operation of a diode-pumped Tm:YVO4 laser on the 3F4 → 3H6 (at ∼2 μm) and 3H4 → 3H5 (at ∼2.3 μm) Tm3+ transitions. Pumped with a fiber-coupled spatially multimode 794 nm AlGaAs laser diode, the 1.5 at.% Tm:YVO4 laser yielded a maximum total output power of 6.09 W with a slope efficiency of 35.7% out of which the 3H4 → 3H5 laser emission corresponded to 1.15 W at 2291-2295 and 2362-2371 nm with a slope efficiency of 7.9% and a laser threshold of 6.25 W.
