摘要: Pulsed laser operation of a new high Cr4+ concentration forsterite crystal is reported. Slope efficiencies 13% and 5% have been obtained for 1064 532nm pumping. Results are compared with the performance three other crystals. A threefold enhancement in operating efficiency over standard low dopant-level material. Tuning ranges also investigated.
