Gain-switched Fe:ZnSe laser pumped by a coupled-cavity Q-switched Er:ZrF fiber laser.

We report on a gain-switched operation of single-crystal Fe:ZnSe pumped by a coupled-cavity Q-switched Er:ZrF fiber laser. With this approach, we use a continuous wave Er-doped ZrF fiber laser whose cavity is coupled with the Fe:ZnSe laser cavity. A stable Q switching operation of the Er-doped fiber laser was achieved in this case and, as a result, a gain-switched operation of the Fe:ZnSe laser was obtained.

Intracavity absorption spectroscopy of HCl isotopes, HO, CH, CH, and CH in the 3.1-3.4 µm spectral range using a Cr:CdSe laser.

We demonstrate the first application of a Cr:CdSe laser for highly-sensitive multicomponent intracavity absorption spectroscopy around λ = 3.1-3.4 µm.

Room-temperature Fe:ZnSe laser tunable in the spectral range of 3.7-5.3 µm applied for intracavity absorption spectroscopy of CO isotopes, CO and NO.

We demonstrate an intracavity absorption spectroscopy system based on a broadband single-crystal pulsed Fe:ZnSe laser. The laser operates at room-temperature and is continuously tunable in the spectral range of 3.76-5.

Tunable in the range of 4.5-6.8 µm room temperature single-crystal Fe:CdTe laser pumped by Fe:ZnSe laser.

We report a laser operation from a Fe:CdTe single crystal, pumped by 40-ns pulses of a 4.12-µm Fe:ZnSe laser. The maximum output energy of 5.

High-efficiency continuous-wave single-mode room-temperature operation of Cr:CdSe single-crystal laser with output power of 2.3 W.

We report on the study of quenching and thermal lensing based on simple effective lens approximation in a Cr:CdSe active medium, including detailed research on the medium's luminescence lifetime dependence on temperature in the 236-391 K range. This work has allowed us to partially overcome the limitations associated with thermal effects in the medium and build a laser system that allowed power scalability to be realized for the Cr:CdSe laser.
