摘要: Abstract Cr2+-doped chalcogenide crystals are efficient and broad band tunable solid-state laser materials for the infrared spectral range between 2 3 μm. Pulsed, continuous wave, gain-switched, mode-locked diode-pumped operation have been demonstrated in recent years. Possible applications of these mid-infrared lasers include scientific research, remote sensing, trace gas analysis, medicine, biology, processing, ultrashort pulse generation. In this paper an overview about material properties characteristics newly developed will be given, including results.
