Abstract

We report on the first demonstration of quasi-continuous wave (quasi-CW) and real CW room-temperature lasing on the 5D0 → 7F4 transition of Eu3+-doped material using a 25 at.%Eu3+ : KGd(WO4)2 crystal pumped into the 7F1 → 5D1 transition by a diode-end-pumped Nd3+ : KGd(WO4)2/KTP green laser at 533.6 nm. The maximum CW output power of this laser at 702.3 nm is 5.3 mW with 1.4% green-to-red conversion efficiency. In quasi-CW operation mode with a 10% duty cycle, the peak power of ms long pulses reaches ~54 mW, which corresponds to the optical conversion efficiency of 3.5%.
