Abstract
We present the laser characteristics of a 5 at.% Tm:YLF crystal using a modular setup at cryogenic temperatures emitting around 2 µm. Continuous-wave laser operation was achieved by pumping the laser crystal using a Volume Bragg Grating-stabilized laser diode emitting at 793 nm. A maximum output power of 6.5 W was achieved at 80 K corresponding to a slope efficiency of 66.0% with respect to the absorbed power with excellent beam quality.
