The invention discloses a low-threshold yellow light solid-state laser based on energy transfer. The low-threshold yellow light solid-state laser comprises a pumping source, a focusing coupling system and a resonant cavity, the resonant cavity comprises an input mirror, an output mirror and a laser gain medium, the input mirror and the output mirror are oppositely arranged in a resonant cavity body, the laser gain medium is Ce, Dy: LuGdAG transparent ceramic, the chemical formula of the laser gain medium is (Gd1-x-y-zLuxDyyCez) 3Al5O12, x is larger than or equal to 0.30 and smaller than or equal to 0.5, y is larger than or equal to 0.03 and smaller than or equal to 0.3, z is larger than or equal to 0.005 and smaller than or equal to 0.02, and the Ce, Dy: LuGdAG transparent ceramic is prepared through a coprecipitation method. Ce, Dy: LuGdAG transparent ceramic is adopted as a laser gain medium, Ce < 3 + > is co-doped, Dy < 3 + > can transmit absorbed photon energy of wavelength to Ce < 3 + >, so that 5d-4f transition of Ce < 3 + > is increased, doping of Gd < 3 + > improves energy level loss among ions, in addition, Gd < 3 + > is doped as ions with large radiuses, so that crystal lattices doped with multiple ions are more stable, and finally, efficient yellow laser output is realized.
