摘要: Room-temperature, all-solid-state, broadly tunable laser operation of Cr2+-doped CdSe has been demonstrated. Pumping with a Q-switched Tm, Ho:YLF running at 1-kHz repetition rate achieved broadband output 500 mW 2.6 µm 48% absorbed power slope efficiency. With reduced efficiency, as much 815 was obtained. diffraction grating, the Cr2+:CdSe tuned from 2.3 to 2.9 µm 10-nm bandwidth (FWHM) and up 350 mW.
