Abstract
The principal spectroscopic and lasing characteristics of a Tm(15%):KY(WO4)
(2) crystal were investigated The transition cross sections, the luminescen
ce quantum yield, and the lifetime and the nonlinear depopulation coefficie
nt of the upper active state were also determined. The slope efficiency of
lasing at the 1950 nm wavelength was 45%. The feasibility of tuning in the
spectral range 1850-1950 nm was demonstrated in principle.
