Cr:ZnSe prism for broadly tunable mid-infrared laser radiation generation

Compact broadly tunable Cr:ZnSe laser was constructed and described. Cr:ZnSe bulk crystal was grown by the Bridgman technique. In our best knowledge the bulk Cr:ZnSe prism was utilized as laser active media and simultaneously as an intra‐cavity dispersive element for the first time. The maximal outp...

Summary:Compact broadly tunable Cr:ZnSe laser was constructed and described. Cr:ZnSe bulk crystal was grown by the Bridgman technique. In our best knowledge the bulk Cr:ZnSe prism was utilized as laser active media and simultaneously as an intra‐cavity dispersive element for the first time. The maximal output pulse energy was 20 mJ. The generated radiation was tunable from 2000 up to 2750 nm. The repetition‐rate was 1 Hz. The generated radiation beam spatial structure was close to TEM00.
