Abstract
The strongly anisotropic monoclinic double tungstate crystal KLu(WO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ was doped with Yb/sup 3+/ ions and shown to be a highly efficient active laser medium in the 1-/spl mu/m spectral range for continuous-wave room-temperature operation, very suitable for pumping with InGaAs laser diodes.Keywords
