Resum: We report on a detailed comparative study of the spectroscopic and thermo-optic properties of tetragonal Tm:LiLnF(4) (Ln = Y, Gd, and Lu) crystals indicating their suitability for highly-efficient microchip lasers diode-pumped at similar to 791 nm and operating at similar to 1.91 mu m. An a-cut 8 at.% Tm:LiYF4 micro-laser generated 3.1 W of linearly polarized output at 1904 nm with a slope efficiency of eta = 72% and a laser threshold of only 0.24 W. The internal loss for this crystal is as low as 0.0011 cm(-1). For 8 at.% Tm:LiGdF4 and 12 at.% Tm:LiLuF4 lasers, the output power reached similar to 2 W and eta was 65% and 52%, respectively. The thermal lens in all Tm:LiLnF(4) crystals is weak, positive and low-astigmatic. The potential for the Tm:LiLnF(4) lasers to operate beyond similar to 2 mu m due to a vibronic coupling has been proved. The Tm:LiYF4 vibronic laser generated 375 mW at 2026-2044 nm with. = 31%. The Tm:LiLnF(4) crystals are very promising for passively Q-switched microchip lasers. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
