The structure of Tm3+-doped langasite(La3Ga5SiO14,abbreviated as LGS) crystal has been measured by XRD. The crystal lattice parameters were calculated with DICVOL91 program. The absorption spectra and emission spectra (excitated under 470nm) of Tm:LGS single crystal was measured at room temperature. And the optical parameters, such as transition-line intensity, oscillator strength and absorption section were calculated by using Judd-Ofelt theory. The three intensity parameters Ωt(t=2,4,6) were fitted to be 2.694×10-20cm2,1.842×10-20cm2,0.030×10-20cm2,respectively. The lifetime, branching ratio and integrated stimulated-emission cross section were obtained and the results were discussed.
