Efficient single-axial-mode operation of a Ho:YAG ring laser pumped by a Tm-doped silica fiber laser

Efficient single-frequency operation of a Ho:YAG ring laser at room temperature with a traveling-wave TeO<sub>2</sub> acousto-optic modulator to enforce unidirectional operation is reported. By use of a 2-at.% Ho<sup>3+</sup>-doped 10-mm-long Ho:YAG rod, end pumped by a cladd...
