Abstract
We report the first observation to our knowledge of room-temperature continuous-wave laser operation of a single crystal at , pumped by a blue GaN laser diode emitting at . With a 2.5% transmission output coupler and a nonoptimized optical cavity, an output power of was obtained at with a laser threshold of and a differential slope efficiency of 23%.
