Abstract
Spectroscopic properties and cw laser performance of a new mixed crystal are reported. A sizable bistability is displayed in the laser operation with a bistability range of in terms of absorbed pump power, in which the coexistence and switching of the σ and π polarization states occur accompanied by wavelength shifting upon decreasing the pump power.
