CW lasing is obtained in Er{sup 3+}(5%) : CaF{sub 2} and Er{sup 3+}(5%) : SrF{sub 2} crystals near 2.75 {mu}m with 0.4 and 2 W of output powers, respectively, upon transverse diode laser pumping into the upper {sup 4}I{sub 11/2} laser level of erbium ions at 980 nm. Continuous tuning of the laser wavelength between 2720 and 2760 nm is realised in the Er{sup 3+} : SrF{sub 2} crystal. (special issue devoted to the 90th anniversary of a.m. prokhorov)
