Abstract
Recently, room temperature cw laser action around 1.6 µm was demonstrated in Er,Yb- doped YAG and Y2SiO5 under pumping by Ti-sapphire laser [1] and by InGaAs laser diodes |2|. Here we report, for the first time to our knowledge , room temperature cw operation of Er,Yb:KY(WO4)2 (KYW) in the eye-safe spectral range near 1.5 µm under both Ti-sapphire and diode laser pumping.
