Growth, spectroscopy and laser operation of in-band pumped Ho3+-doped Yttrium Gallium Garnet
Abstract
We report on the crystal growth of a 2.86 at.% Ho:YGG crystal, its structural and spectroscopic characterization, as well as on its first laser operation near 2.1 µm under in-band pumping by a Tm-fiber laser.
