Abstract
Tm,Ho:YAG lasers operating at 2.1 μm are becoming increasingly important finding their way into different applications ranging from medicine to remote sensing and range finding. Much of the interest on the Tm,Ho:YAG lasers was perpetuated by their inherent eye safety. In particular, the safety of the remote sensing and range finding applications can be substantially improved by replacing currently widely used 1.06 μm Nd:YAG lasers which are potentially very harmful to the human eye.
