The Ho:YLF laser was fiber pumped using a commercial Tm:fibre laser. The Ho:YLF laser was operated in a single longitudinal mode via injection seeding with a narrow band diode laser which in turn was locked to one of the HBr transitions. The behavior of the HBr laser was described using a rate equation mathematical model and this was solved numerically. Good agreement both qualitatively and quantitatively between the model and experimental results was obtained.enHo:YLF laserHBr molecular laserMathematical modelOptics expressHo:YLF pumped HBr laserArticleBotha, L., Bollig, C., Esser, M., Campbell, R., Jacobs, C., & Preussler, D.
