Abstract
Nearly quantum-defect-limited laser operation of a resonantly pumped at is demonstrated. Maximum slope efficiency of and true CW power of at were achieved with a beam propagation factor of . This slope efficiency is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest efficiency ever reported for a crystalline Er-doped laser.
