We demonstrate a linearly polarized Tm:YAP slab laser pumped by fiber-coupled laser diodes. The maximum output power is 202 W at 1937.5 nm with a slope efficiency of 47.4% and an optical-to-optical efficiency of 35.6%. The beam quality M2 factors are 10.1 and 8.33 in x and y directions, respectively. Using the Tm:YAP laser as the pump source, the maximum power of the Ho:YLF oscillator is 113 W at 2063.3 nm, corresponding to an optical-to-optical efficiency of 55.9%. In addition, the beam quality factors of the Ho:YLF laser are ∼1.5 at maximum power.
