Fe:ZnSe and other transition metals have broad upper and lower energy manifolds that give rise to broad absorption and fluorescence bands in the mid-infrared spectral region. Energy transfer between Fe2 + ions via re-absorption of fluorescence (due t

Much progress has been made in power scaling mid-infrared lasers based on transition metal ions such as Cr2+, Co2+, and Fe2+ in zinc and cadmium chalcogenides. Still, the exploration of the physics of the devices is incomplete. In this work, we analy

Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) GaP layers up to 300 μm thick have been produced by low-pressure hydride vapor phase epitaxy (LP-HVPE) overgrowth on orientation-patterned GaAs (OPGaAs) templates fabricated using a wafer-fusion bonding technique. The growt

This paper describes using a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to improve II-VI crystal characteristics and diffuse metal ions into laser host crystals. Thin layers of metal are sputtered onto the surface of zinc selenide and zinc sulfide crystals prior t

We report fabrication and operation of multi-watt level waveguide lasers utilizing holmium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG). The waveguides were fabricated using ultrafast laser inscription, which relies on a chirped pulse ytterbium fiber laser

We describe a variety of technological advances in the development of efficient, powerful, and continuously tunable Cr:ZnSe lasers operating in the 2.3-2.7 μm spectral region. This includes the development of compact "single chip" waveguide Cr:ZnSe

In addition to the well-established 5I7 to 5I8 transition at 2.09 μm in holmium doped laser materials, there also exists a less energetic transition from the 5I6 level to 5I7 at 2.95 μm. As there has been a recent increase in interest and applicati

A sample of Fe:ZnSe fabricated by post-growth thermal diffusion was purchased commercially. The sample was cooled to 80 K using liquid nitrogen and used as the gain element in a Watt-class continuous-wave laser with an output wavelength centered at 4

A 500 μm Cr:ZnSe thin disk gain element was pumped at five different pump diameters. Laser output versus pump power was measured. Slope efficiency, threshold, and maximum power versus pump spot size were then extracted.
