Abstrakt: A room-temperature watt-level continuous-wave-output power mid-infrared fiber laser operating at $\lambda\sim 3\; \unicode{x00B5}{\rm m}$ is demonstrated using a ${{\rm Ho}^{3 +}}/{{\rm Pr}^{3 +}}$ co-doped ${{\rm AlF} _3}$ based glass fiber as a gain fiber. This fixed-wavelength laser had maximum output power of 1.13 W with a slope efficiency of 10.3% and a long-term operating stability of ${\gt}{40}\;{\min }$ without any additional packaging or active thermal management. A fiber laser with tunability from 2.842 to 2.938 µm showed a maximum output power of 110 mW.
