We have demonstrated the continuous-wave operation of a highly efficient 2.8 μm Er-doped Lu 2 O 3 ceramic laser at room temperature. An Er:Lu 2 O 3 ceramic with a doping concentration of 11 at.% afforded a slope efficiency of 29% and an output power of 2.3 W with pumping at 10 W. To our knowledge, these are the highest slope efficiency and output power obtained to date for an Er:Lu 2 O 3 ceramic laser at 2.8 μm. In addition, we prepared ceramics with various doping concentrations and determined their emission cross sections by fluorescence lifetime measurements and emission spectroscopy.
