摘要：
In this paper, we present experimental results concerning the spectral emission obtained with two microchip lasers emitting in the 2 mu m range. We show that high efficiency is achieved in both cases at room temperature. Nevertheless, while Tm:YVO4 oscillates always on longitudinal modes and may easily be single frequency with high power, Tm:Ho:YLF is always emitting several transverse modes for any pumping conditions with temperatures between 13 degrees C and 35 degrees C. This result is interpreted considering the gain of these two amplifier media and the mode guiding resulting from the thermal properties of the two host materials. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
