Abstract

We report on a comparison of various host materials for Tm,Ho based laser systems. A pulsed alexandrite laser has been used as a pump source to investigate the lasing properties of Tm,Ho in yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12), yttrium lithium fluoride (YLF4), and fluoro-zircoaluminate glass (ZBAN). These results are compared to the predictions of a computer simulation of the Tm,Ho optical pumping dynamics using a rate equation model.
