Abstract
In this paper, we explore the laser properties of a 2.1 µm Ho:LaF3 laser intracavity pumped by a LD-pumped Tm:YLF laser. Ho:LaF3 crystals, with a doping concentration of 2%, have been verified as a novel type of laser gain material, whose luminescence lifetime of the 5I7 level was up to 25.7 ms. The Ho:LaF3 laser achieved an average output power of 2.07 W with a slope efficiency of 16.2%. The dual-wavelength output centered at 2089 nm and 2093 nm and exhibited excellent spot quality with M2x and M2y values of 1.19 and 1.23, respectively. Our results effectively demonstrate the impressive capability of Ho:LaF3 crystals for generating high-power 2.1 µm mid-infrared lasers.
