Based on Faraday effect we demonstrate a thulium fiber pumped continuous-wave single-longitudinal-mode laser with a new Ho:GdTaO 4 crystal. By inserting a faraday rotator and a half-wave plate into the laser cavity, the single-longitudinal-mode output power of 392 mW at wavelength of 2068.33 nm was obtained in unidirectional Ho:GdTaO 4 ring laser, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 60.2% respect to the absorbed pump power. Furthermore, utilizing the Ho:GdTaO 4 power amplifier, the maximum single-longitudinal- mode output power of 1.02 W was achieved.
