A high average power re-frequency operation Fe:ZnSe laser using laser diode side-pumped free-running Er:YAG lasers as activating sources is presented. Two pieces of subsurface layer doped Fe:ZnSe polycrystal are adoptive in a reflective resonator configuration and face-cooled by liquid nitrogen. A maximal Fe:ZnSe laser power of 105 W at a wavelength of 4.

The results show that the p-type doping is realized by B, C, and N atom doping, and the n-type doping is realized by O and F atom doping. The doping of B and C atoms produces impurity energy levels in the band gap, which affects the conductivity of the heterostructure.

The phonon spectra and thermal parameters of the three structures were obtained based on the density functional perturbation theory method. The upper limits of strain that different monolayers and heterojunctions can withstand were studied.

In this project, we applied stresses ranging from -6 to +6% to the ZrSe/HfSe heterostructure and systematically investigated its electrical and optical properties. It is discovered that stress can effectively modulate the forbidden bandwidth of the ZrSe/HfSe heterojunction; whereas, under compressive stress, the forbidden bandwidth of the material decreases further until the bandgap is zero, leading to the material's transformation from semiconductor to metal.

The doping of the three non-metallic atoms was n-type doping for the O and S atoms and p-type doping for the Te atom. Defects in the Zr atoms and O-atom doping significantly affect the peak reflectance and absorption coefficient of the ZrSe system.
