Summary:The 4-at.% Tm:Sc_2SiO_5 (Tm:SSO) crystal is successfully obtained by the Czochralski method. The optical properties and thermal conductivity of the crystal are investigated. The broad continuous wave(CW) laser output of(100)-cut Tm:SSO with the dimensions of 3 mm×3 mm×3 mm under laser diode(LD)-pumping is realized. The full width at half maximum(FWHM) of the laser emitting reaches up to 21 nm. The laser threshold of Tm:SSO is measured to be 0.43 W. Efficient diode-pumped CW laser performance of Tm:SSO is demonstrated with a slope efficiency of 25.9% and maximum output power of 934 mW.
