Abstract :
Laser operation of the5S2 →5I7 transition in 2 percent Ho:YLF at room temperature is reported. Oscillations at 
nm were obtained in flashlamp and dye laser pumped experiments. Thresholds of 4 J/cm and 
J/cm were observed in flashlamp and laser pumped operation, respectively. The 750-nm transition in the Ho:YLF is a four-level laser with a stimulated emission cross section of 
cm2.
