Abstract Lasers from a Tm:YAG ceramic aare reported for the first time to our best knowledge. The Tm:YAG ceramic slab is end-pumped by a laser diode with central wavelength 792nm. At room temperature, the maximum continuous-wave output power is 4.5W, and the sloping efficiency is obtained to be 20.5%. The laser spectrum of the Tm:YAG ceramic is centered at 2015nm.
