High-power in-band pumped Er:YAG laser at 1617 nm

High-power room-temperature operation of an Er:YAG laser at 1617 nm in-band pumped by a cladding-pumped Er,Yb fiber laser at 1532 nm is reported. The Er:YAG laser yielded 31 W of continuous-wave output in a beam with M2.2.2 for 72 W of incident pump power. The threshold pump power was 4.1 W and the...
