A comparison of pump techniques for Er:YLF and Ho:YLF lasers
Abstract
Solid state lasers activated with trivalent holmium and erbium oscillate at wavelengths from the visible to mid-infrared. Several excitation techniques for these materials are discussed with emphasis on resonant pumping with second harmonic radiation from a Nd:BEL laser
