Abstract
A novel crystal doped with thulium ions is grown and extensively investigated. Owing to the large number of vibronic levels and to a favorable electron–phonon coupling, extremely wide absorption and emission bands around are observed. A room-temperature laser tunable over a interval, from , is demonstrated.
