Abstract:

The present invention pertains generally to methods of preparing laser materials and of lasing those materials and in particular to methods of suitably preparing color-center materials and for achieving broadly tunable lasing in those materials. A laser material for a solid state tunable laser comprises a potassium or rubidium halide crystal with lithium andor sodium cation impurities in a crystalographic structure with point defects consisting essentially of F sub 2t and F sub 2A color centers and electron traps. The crystals are colored both additively and with ionizing radiation. Author
