Continuous-wave (CW) and Q-switched operation of a room-temperature Ho:LuAG laser was resonantly double-end-pumped by a diode-pumped Tm:YLF laser at 1.91 μm. The CW Ho: LuAG laser generated 24.5 W of linearly output at 2094.4 nm with beam quality factor of M 2 = 1.11 ± 0.02 for an absorbed pump power of 44.0 W, corresponding to optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 55.7% and slope efficiency of 60.5%. Under Q-switched operation, a maximum output power of 24.1 W with a slope efficiency of 58.1% at 12 kHz was obtained. Also, the minimum pulse width of 32 ns was achieved, corresponding to the peak power was 37.7 kW.
