Stimulated emission was observed as a result of the /sup 4/I/sub 11///sub 2/ - /sup 4/I/sub 13///sub 2/ transition in CaF/sub 2/:Er/sup 3 +/ crystals at room temperature. The emission was observed under Q-switching conditions and the radiation was in the form of the TEM/sub 00/ mode of 0.13 J energy. The pulse duration was 30 nsec. (AIP)
