The infrared domain is very attractive for many applications owing to two unique features:(i)
it contains several atmospheric transparency windows,(ii) it corresponds to the 'molecular …

Recent progress in chromium and iron doped II‐VI semiconductor materials makes them the
laser sources of choice when one needs a compact system with tunability over 1.9–5.1 μm …

Enabling broad tunability, high peak and average power, ultrashort pulse duration, and all
known modes of laser operation-transition-metal (TM)-doped II-VI chalcogenides are the …

Transition metal (TM) doped II-VI chalcogenide laser materials offer a unique blend of
physical, spectroscopic, and technological parameters that make them the gain media of …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …

Spectroscopic properties and lasing of Fe: ZnSe and co-doped Fe: Cr: ZnSe crystals in the
mid-infrared spectral range were studied at room and low temperatures. Using a free …

The field of optically pumped planar waveguide lasers has seen a rapid development over
the last two decades driven by the requirements of a range of applications. This sustained …

We review a novel class of femtosecond Cr 2+-doped ZnSe and ZnS lasers, which operates
in a very important for applications wavelength range between 2 and 3.5 μm and which …

The mid-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum is the so-called molecular fingerprint
region because gases have tell-tale absorption features associated with molecular …

We report a room temperature Fe: ZnSe laser in gain-switched operation and tuning over the
3.9-4.8 µm spectral range. Mid-IR emission of Fe2+: ZnSe was studied under three regimes …
