Abstract: An optical system was developed for a laser utilizing YSGG:Cr:Nd and YSGG:Cr:Tm:Ho active elements in the resonator emitting at two wavelengths, 1.06 and 2.088 μm, under free-running conditions. Energies of 0.8–1.25 J (λ = 1.06 μm) and 0.35–0.4 J (λ = 2.088 μm) were achieved for a total pump energy of 200 J from two flashlamps.
