Abstract: A new chromium ytterbium erbium laser glass LGS-Kh was used for the first time in minilasers emitting at 1.54 μm and characterized by a very low (less than 5 J) threshold and a relatively high (up to 1.7%) efficiency. An average output power of 0.7 W was obtained at a pulse repetition frequency of 7 Hz.
