Abstract

We report on a comparison of YAG and YLF crystals for Tm,Ho based CW laser systems operating at 2 μm. As pump source we have used both a Ti:Al 2O 3 laser and an arry of diode lasers in order to quantitatively assess the relevance of the pump beam spatial features on the 2 μm laser performance. The results are compared with the predictions of a computer simulation using a rate equation model.
