Abstract: An yttrium scandium gallium garnet crystal activated with chromium, thulium, and holmium ions was found to emit stimulated radiation and different types of active particles had a different role to play in the process. In the case of the ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ transition in Ho³⁺ at room temperature the output laser radiation energy was 4J.
