We demonstrated a stable single-frequency laser operating at 2122 nm from a monolithic nonplanar Ho:YAG ring oscillator (NPRO). The Ho:YAG NPRO was resonantly pumped by a 1907 nm Tm:YLF laser built up by ourselves. The maximum multimode output power from the Ho:YAG NPRO was 9.66 W and the slope efficiency was 71.7%. With accurate adjustment of the pump position to make the laser oscillate in single frequency condition, an output power of 8.0 W was obtained with a slope efficiency of 61.4% and an optical-optical efficiency of 50.0%. The power stability of the Ho:YAG NPRO laser was 0.29% at maximum single frequency output power. The beam quality M(2) factors were measured to be less than 1.1 in x- and y- directions.
