摘要：

We report a high efficiency cw diode-pumped cryogenic Tm(5 at. %), Ho(0.5 at. %):GdVO4 laser. The pumping source is a fibre-coupled laser diode with fibre core diameter of 0.4mm and numerical aperture of 0.3, supplying power 14.8 W at 793.6nm. For input pump power of 13.6 W at 794.2nm, the maximum output power of 4.2 W, optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 31% and slope efficiency 38% have been attained at 2.0485 mum. To our knowledge, the operating performance is the best among the previously reported Tm:Ho:GdVO4 lasers. We also analyse the influence of pump wavelengths (from 792nm to 794.2nm) on the output power, the optical-to-optical conversion efliciency increases with the longer pump wavelength which is closer to the absorption peak of 797nm in Tm,Ho:GdVO4.
