Broadly tunable compact continuous-wave Cr^2+:ZnS laser
2002
Optics Letters
We report the development of a continuous-wave, room-temperature Cr 21 :ZnS laser that is compact and tunable over 700 nm. The laser is pumped by a diode-pumped Er-fiber laser and generates 0.7 W of linearly polarized radiation at 2.35 mm, at up to 40% slope efficiency. Cr 21 :ZnS directly diode-pumped at 1.6 mm yields polarized radiation that is tunable over 400 nm at up to 25 mW of output power. A comparison of Cr 21 :ZnS with Cr:ZnSe (70 mW, 350 nm) in a similar setup is given. As opposed to
