โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we report on diode pumped single mode
Tm:LuAG and Tm,Ho:LuAG lasers which are developed as master
oscillators for an airborne LIDAR system. Using a new fourfold
pump setup 51 mW of output power with a Tm(10%):LuAG laser were
reached at room temperature. The Tm(10%),Ho(0.4%):LuAG laser
proved to be more temperature sensitive than the Tm laser. 18 mW
and 30 mW of single mode laser output could be achieved at room
temperature and 0ยฐC, respectively. In multi mode laser
operation 130 mW output power at room temperature (slope
efficiency 36%) were achieved.

In this paper we report on laser diode end-pumped single longitudinal mode and optical bistability Tm,Ho:YLF lasers at room temperature. The maximal output power of single longitudinal mode can reach 106 mW by using only a 250 ฮผm thick solid etalon. The single longitudinal mode laser can be used as
