Description
Summary:An analysis of the spectroscopic characteristics of a chromium doped gadolinium gallium garnet crystal substituted by cations Ca super(2+), Mg super(2+), Zr super(4+) has been performed. Room temperature pulsed laser operation of the Cr super(3+): GGG(Ca, Mg, Zr) garnet under flashlamp and ruby laser pumping has been obtained. Slope efficiency up to 0.08% and free-running lasing from 774 to 814 nm under flashlamp pumping were achieved.
