Abstract
Yb-doped materials attract interest as promising active media for 1 μm all-solid-slate infrared lasers pumped by InGaAs laser diodes. In the present paper we report, for the first time to our knowledge, room-temperature cw laser performance of two Yb3+-doped crystals KY(WO4)2 (KYW) and KGd(WO4)2 (KGW) under Ti-sapphire and diode laser pumping.
