Ultrashort pulse (picosecond and femtosecond) lasers in the 2-μm spectral range will offer new possibilities for coverage of the mid-infrared spectral range with solid state ultrafast laser sources. Eye safe lasers emitting in the 2-μm spectral range have potential applications in the fields of medicine, laser radar and atmosphere monitoring.The development of such mode-locked lasers operating in the 2-μm spectral range based on rare-earth doped fibers and bulk crystals started only recently. The research planned will be focused on development of novel short and ultrashort pulse bulk solid state lasers operating in the 2-μm spectral range based on specially designed Tm and Ho co-doped disordered SrGdGa3O7 crystal. Tm-Ho: SrGdGa3O7 crystal have broader absorption and emission spectra. Strong inhomogeneous broadening of the pumping band improves spectral overlap with the relatively broad emission band of a diode laser (DL). A broad fluorescence linewidth facilitates the production of short, mode-locked pulses. Tm-Ho: SrGdGa3O7 single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. Characterization on Tm, Ho: SrGdGa3O7 crystal quality, thermal properties,optical properties and laser performance were carried out. The main objective will be to fill the gap in the 2-μm spectral range where short and ultrashort pulse solid-state lasers have shown only unsatisfactory performance or simply do not exist.
