Abstract
⺠Tm:YLF laser pumped at 1.678 um was studied at two (1.5% and 5%) ion concentrations. ⺠At output power up to 460 mW measured lasing slope efficiency was as high as 55%. ⺠Temporal structure of a beam represents series of peaks of relaxation oscillations. ⺠Lasing performance was compared to that obtained under pumping by 792-nm laser diode. ⺠Beam quality (M2) was measured for both pumping channels and two concentrations of Tm.
