Abstract
We realized a compact mid-IR room temperature operating laser, excited by a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser at a wavelength of . The pumping laser was operating in pulsed mode with a pulse length of and repetition rate of . Maximum pumping energy at a wavelength of was . Energy up to and mean output power of was obtained at a wavelength of with a slope efficiency with respect to absorbed pumping energy better than 3%.
