Abstract
We report on the room-temperature spectroscopic properties and continuous-wave laser operation of a new crystal. The peak absorption cross section for the π-polarization is at , and the stimulated emission cross section at is . An output power of at was obtained with a slope efficiency of 47% by use of Ti:sapphire laser pumping. With diode pumping the output power reached at the highest available incident pump power of .
