摘要
We report on a comprehensive characterization of Cr2+-doped CdSe single crystal as an efficient active material for tunable laser applications in the mid-infrared spectral region. Optical gain, thermo-optical behavior, power efficiency, scalability and wavelength tunability have been thoroughly investigated. Using an antireflection-coated crystal pumped by a Tmfiber laser at at 1.94 mu m, 1-W CW output power and 50% slope efficiency at 2.65 aem emission wavelength have been obtained in a diffraction-limited output beam. An output peak power of 2.5 W has been achieved without significant beam distortion in a quasi-CW regime. Exploiting an intra-cavity diffraction grating in a Littrow configuration, a maximum tuning range of 900 nm from 2.22 to 3.12 mu m, limited by the finite bandwidth of resonator components, has been demonstrated with an uncoated crystal.
