Intra-cavity side-pumped Ho:YAG laser.
We present a novel, compact and power scalable Ho:YAG laser based on intracavity side-pumping by a high-power Tm:YLF slab laser. 14 W of continuous wave output power is obtained at 2.09 microm in the current experiments, with the clear prospect of reaching the 100 W regime in a power scaled version.
