Abstract：The Er3+/Yb3+:KGW crystal with the dimensions of 30 mm×25 mm×15 mm was grown from K2W2O7 solvent by modified Czochralski method. The absorption spectrum was measured at room temperature and its absorption peaks were assigned. The emission spectrum was obtained under the excitation of 980 nm. There are two broad emission bands at 1 024 and 1 535 nm, whose FHWM are 60 and 36 nm respectively. It shows that this crystal is suitable for InGaAs LD pumping, and may be a promising laser crystal tunable at near 1 024 and 1 535 nm.
