Abstract

A diode-pumped continuous-wave and a Q-switched Tm:Y2O3 ceramic laser operating around 2050 nm were demonstrated. The maximum output power of 7.25 W, with a slope efficiency of 40% for continuous-wave operation and shortest pulse width of 115 ns at a repetition of 1 kHz for Q-switched operation, was achieved.
