%0 Journal Article %T A Continuous-Wave Ho:YAlO3 Laser with Output 8.5W Pumped by a 1.91μm Laser at Room Temperature %J 中国物理快报 %D 2009 %I %X A cw high efficient Ho:YAlO3 laser pumped by 1.91μm diode-pumped Tm:YLF laser at room temperature is realized. The maximum output power reaches 8.5W when the incident pump power is 15.6W. The slope efficiency is 63.7%, and the Tm:YLF to Ho:YAP optical conversion efficiency is 54.5%. The laser wavelength is 2118.3nm when the transmission of output coupler is 30%. The beam quality factor is M2~1.39 measured by the traveling knife-edge method. %U http://www.alljournals.cn/get_abstract_url.aspx?pcid=6E709DC38FA1D09A4B578DD0906875B5B44D4D294832BB8E&cid=47EA7CFDDEBB28E0&jid=E27DA92E19FE279A273627875A70D74D&aid=4AD250AD1D279F2DF7E49AB5D6035FE8&yid=DE12191FBD62783C&vid=96C778EE049EE47D&iid=E158A972A605785F&journal_id=0256-307X&journal_name=中国物理快报&referenced_num=0&reference_num=0
