Abstract

Simultaneous cw laser operation at 1044 and 1120 nm in Yb3+:Sr-5(VO4)(3)F (SVAP) under diode pumping has been achieved for the first time. Output powers of 29.9 mW at 1044 nm and 26.5 mW at 1120 nm were obtained under simultaneous operation. A maximum output for each transition operating separately was 103 mW at 1044 nm and 157 mW at 1120 nm. In addition, we demonstrate over 27 nm of wavelength tunability of the 1120 nm band.
