We report on a highly efficient Ho:LuYAG laser inband pumped by a high power narrow linewidth Tm fiber laser at 1907 nm. Lasing wavelength of the mixed crystal laser centered at 2124 or 2093 nm depending on the transmittance of the output coupler. With 1.0 at.% Ho 3+ -doped LuYAG crystal and an outp

✦ Synopsis
The C-band is demonstrated to be suitable for pumping L-band erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with a broad pumping band. A high power C-band superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) peaked at 1545 nm with output power of 1.86 W is constructed and utilized as pump source for L-band EDFL. Based on this, an all single-mode-fiber L-band EDFL emitting at 1591.9 nm with 1.19 W output power is obtained. The laser exhibits a high conversion efficiency of 64.0% with a high ASE extinction ratio of 66 dB and a narrow bandwidth of less than 0.08 nm.
