The authors have performed a study of the 3 {mu}m laser transitions in Ho:YAlO{sub 3} and Nd,Ho:YAlO{sub 3} using both flashlamp and laser pumping. Fluorescence measurements of the Nd,Ho:YAlO{sub 3} rod indicate that the neodymium is effective in quenching the lower holmium laser level and in sensitizing the upper level. Intracavity laser pumping of Ho:YAlO{sub 3} produced laser lines at 2.92 and 2.85 {mu}m and demonstrated high efficiency.
