Abstract: Measurements were made of the lasing parameters of a concentration series of BaYb₂F₈:Er crystals at the 1.96μ wavelength of the ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_11/2 lasing transition in the Er ion. It was found that the Er concentration of 8–11% was optimal for 1.96μ lasing. Mechanisms of energy losses due to the Er concentration dependence of the lasing efficiency of BaYb₂F₈:Er were determined.
