Abstract
Experimental investigations were made of the generation parameters of pulsed-periodic holmium lasers utilizing YAG and YSGG crystals doped w ith Cr - Tm - Ho. It is shown that the YAG laser is more suitable for achieving a higher pulse repetition frequency at a comparatively low p ump energy. Several approaches are pointed out to extending the operat ion range of repetition frequencies of holmium lasers utilizing scandi um garnets.
