A simple kinetic model is presented which describes the temporal behaviour of an Er:YAG laser pulse and predicts c.w. operation. The use of transfer dye to selectively pump the erbium ions, and suitable optimisation of laser cavity parameters has allowed operation up to 40Hz with 4W average power. 10W at 100Hz is predicted.
