Researchers develop first room temperature holmium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride thin disk laser

In a study published in Optics Express, a research group led by Prof. Fu Yuxi from Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed the first room temperature holmium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Ho:YLF) composite thin disk laser, which can achieve high efficiency and quality continuous-wave laser output.
