    A mid-infrared fiber laser operating at λ≈3 μm is demonstrated using a Ho3+/Pr3+ co-doped AlF3-based glass fiber as a gain fiber. Under 1150 nm single-mode fiber laser pumping, the fixed-wavelength laser had maximum output power of 1.02 W, a slope efficiency of 10.7%, and M2≈1.2. The results prove this type of fiber is a potential gain medium for more powerful mid-infrared fiber lasers.
