Description
Summary:This review analyzes theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments showing the prospects of using of diamond with color centers as active laser medium. Despite the mentioned prospects, practical implementation of lasers based on color centers in diamond is limited to laboratory demonstrations. No commercially significant products of laser technology based on diamond with color centers have been created yet. Obviously, the available scientific information is still insufficient, and additional research is required. The review analyzes the factors that require further study: concentration quenching of luminescence, thermal quenching of luminescence, luminescence quenching by nitrogen and other impurity defects, as well as the influence of multiphoton and multi-stage absorption processes. For color centers in diamond, such processes have yet to be investigated in more detail.
