Popis: We report on the crystal growth, spectroscopic investigation and laser performance of Tm3+-doped monoclinic magnesium tungstate (Tm:MgWO4), for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. A high-quality crystal has been grown by the top seeded solution growth method. The relevant spectroscopic properties are characterized in terms of absorption, luminescence and Raman spectroscopy. Judd-Ofelt (J-O) analysis is performed to evaluate the spontaneous emission probabilities and the radiative lifetimes. The absorption, stimulatedemission and gain cross-section spectra are determined for the principal light polarizations. The first laser action in the 2 ¿m spectral range is demonstrated in the regime of continuous-wave operation with a maximum output power of 775 mW and a slope efficiency of 39%.
