Abstract
A prediction of laser performance of Tm transitions from the 3F4 to 3H6 manifolds in 10 garnets has been made using a quantum mechanical model. Theoretical energy levels, branching ratios, and population inversion percentages were calculated to determine threshold as a function of temperature.
