We report recent measurements of upconversion loss rates in flashlamp pumped YAG crystals doped with trivalent chromium, thulium. Fluorescence lifetimes and upconversion coefficients for the thulium 3F4 metastable level were determined and compared with recent similar measurements in thulium sensitized holmium YAG crystals.
