Abstract
We determine the quasi-equilibrium distribution of the excitations between the excited states of Tm and Ho. We find that the distribution is excitation density dependent and is described by a canonical summation over the energy levels of the excited and ground state manifolds. We discuss the implications of this distribution for 2 micron lasers.
