Continuous Wave Operation of a Yb3+–Ho3+ Co-Doped LuVO4 Laser at 2076 nm

We report a continuous wave Yb3+–Ho3+ co-doped LuVO4 laser dual end pumped by laser diodes. A c -cut Yb,Ho:LuVO4 crystal is cooled at the temperature of 77 K, and a 303-mW output power of the Yb,Ho:LuVO4 laser is acquired at 2076 nm with a pump wavelength of 980.88 nm. The beam quality factor of the Yb,Ho:LuVO4 laser is measured to be M2x=1.29 and M2y=1.14 .
