Abstract
Room-temperature continuous-wave laser action in a novel Tm-doped crystal emitting at around is demonstrated. The crystal growth process, spectroscopic measurements, and laser performance are presented for different Tm concentrations. An overall tunability extending from , a slope efficiency of 46%, and a maximum output power in excess of are reported.
