Analytic expressions for the parameters of relaxation oscillations in a cw 2-{mu}m, Cr,Tm,Ho : YSGG crystal laser are derived and analysed. They are compared quantitatively with the corresponding parameters of a 2-{mu}m Cr,Tm : YSGG crystal laser. Significant differences are found between the damping decrements. The experimental and theoretical results are compared and the different operational dynamics of the Ho{sup 3+} and Tm{sup 3+} ion lasers explained. (control of laser radiation parameters)
