We report room-temperature pulsed up-conversion laser oscillation in Er-doped LiYF4 and KYF4 at 551 and 562 nm, respectively. In both crystals laser oscillation is observed on the 4S3/2-4I15/2 ground state transition. Excitation was provided by a tunable flashlamp-pumped Ti:sapphire laser in the spectral region around 810 nm. Additional pumping with a continuous wave krypton ion laser at 647 nm was beneficial to both lasers. Laser action has also been observed in Er-doped Y3Al5O12 on the same transition.
