We report a diode-pumped CW Ho:YAP laser at room temperature with a volume Bragg grating (VBG) instead of the conventional mirror. The Ho:YAP laser operated at 2117.9 nm, with output power 8.1 W. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is 51.9% and slope efficiency is 61.1%. Also, a stable output and a narrow line width less than 0.3 nm FWHM are achieved. This is the first time to report a Ho:YAP laser with a volume Bragg grating.
