Diode-pumped Tm:YAG and Tm-Ho:YAG lasers operating near room temperature wi
th continuous-wave emission at 2 mum have been developed. A thorough charac
terization in both multi- and single-longitudinal mode regimes has been per
formed by experimentally determining the corresponding threshold and slope
efficiency values. Continuous-wave output powers of more than 70 mW and 35
mW have been obtained in single-longitudinal mode operation near room tempe
rature for Tm:YAG and Tm-Ho:YAG lasers, respectively.
