文摘We report a compact high power Tm,Ho：YAG laser nearly at room temperature. The laser-diode side-pumped Tm：YAG and Tm,Ho：YAG laser modules are operated in the same cavity. The laser yields 37.34 W of continuous wave output power under the temperature of 6℃, corresponding to a maximum slope efficiency of 16.7% when the output power lies from 5.1 W to 27.0 W. This is the first report on the combined Tm：YAG and Tm,Ho：YAG lasers for obtaining high power 2.1 μm laser.
