Laser emission from the transition-metal compound LiSrCrF6

We have demonstrated laser action in the transition-metal compound LiSrCrF6. A Ti:sapphire laser was employed to pump into the long- wavelength absorption wing in order to mimic the AlGaAs laser-diode wavelengths. Slope efficiencies greater than 30 percent were measured with a crystal having passive...

Description
Summary:We have demonstrated laser action in the transition-metal compound LiSrCrF6. A Ti:sapphire laser was employed to pump into the long- wavelength absorption wing in order to mimic the AlGaAs laser-diode wavelengths. Slope efficiencies greater than 30 percent were measured with a crystal having passive losses of the order of 3-5 percent/cm. (Author)
