1.88 Micrometers InGaAsP Pumped, Room Temperature Ho: LuAG LaserA room temperature, directly diode pumped Ho:LuAG laser oscillated for the first time. Direct pumping of the Ho upper laser manifold maximizes efficiency, minimizes heating, and eliminates Ho:Tm energy sharing. Design and performance are presented.
