摘要：
We report what is to our knowledge the first room-temperature operation of an efficient flash-lamp-pumped Cr, Tm:YAG laser at 2.014 μm. Thresholds as low as 43 J, output energies exceeding 2 J, and slope efficiencies as high as 4.5% have been achieved using a compact diffuse-reflecting pump cavity. These efficiencies are an order of magnitude higher than those previously reported for a 2.01-μm Cr, Tm:YAG laser operated at cryogenic temperatures. © 1990 Optical Society of America.
