Abstract.

Laser oscillation around 1.6 μm was realised at room temperature for low-doped Er:YVO4 crystals (0.5 at % and 1 at %) as well as for Er(1 at %), Yb(5 at %):YVO4 crystal in continuous-wave mode. The maximum slope of the input–output curve was about 19% (vs. absorbed power) for Er(0.5 at %):YVO4. The laser oscillation was discretely tunable in the spectral range between 1531 and 1604 nm.
