Abstract
We report the observation of continuous high‐power laser emission from sensitized YAG. The crystal was immersed in flowing liquid oxygen precooled to 77 K. With a linear tungsten‐halogen lamp in a single‐ellipse pumping configuration an output power of 50 W with a 6.5% slope efficiency was obtained.Keywords
