摘要：
A continuous-wave oscillation is obtained for the first time in a Fe2+ : ZnSe laser. The laser wavelength was in the range from 4.04 to 4.08 mu m. A liquid-nitrogen-cooled active element was pumped by a Cr2+ : CdSe laser at 2.97 mu m. The maximum output power of the laser was 160 mW with the 56% slope efficiency. The minimum absorbed pump power threshold was 18 mW. The intrinsic losses in the Fe2+ : ZnSe crystal did not exceed 0.024 cm(-1) during lasing.
