Abstract
We report the spectroscopy and high-power continuous-wave (CW) diode-pumped laser operation of crystal. Absorption and stimulated emission spectra, emission lifetimes, and efficiency of energy transfer from to ions were determined. A CW laser emitting at 1602, 1555, and with output power as high as and slope efficiency up to 35% was demonstrated.
