High power diode-pumped continuous wave (CW) and Q-switch operation of Tm,Ho:YVO4 laser is reported. Using two Tm,Ho:YVO 4 rods in a single cavity, up to 20.2 W of CW output lasing at 2054.7 nm was obtained under cryogenic temperature of 77 K with an optical to optical conversion efficiency of 32.9%

Abstract
We demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge laser oscillation of Tm:LuVO~4~ at room temperature with both Ti:sapphire and diode laser pumping, and tunable operation from 1839 to 1952 nm. Spectroscopic studies indicate higher gain cross section for the σ‐polarization as observed in the laser experiments. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The continuous-wave (cw) laser properties of an efficient diode-pumped Nd:GdVO~4~ crystal operating at 1.06 μm formed with a simple flat-flat cavity have been studied. With the incident pump power of 25 W, an output power of 15.6 W was obtained, with the optical conversion efficiency of 62.4% and th
We describe the output performances of the 1.35 μm 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 13/2 transition in Nd-doped Sr3Ga2Ge4O14 (SGG) under in-band pumping with diode lasers at the 879 nm wavelength, directly into the 4 F 3/2 emitting level. An end-pumped Nd:SGG crystal yielded 7.1 W of continuous-wave (CW) output power
