Abstract:
A room temperature solid state laser for producing a laser emission at a wavelength of substantially 2 microns is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the laser comprises a laser crystal having a host crystal material doped with an effective percent concentration of CR3 sensitizer ions and with an effective percent concentration of Tm3 activator ions and a flashpump for exciting the crystal to produce a laser emission at substantially 2 microns at a slope efficiency of at least 2 percent. jhd
