摘要：

Efficient continuous-wave laser operation of Cr2+:ZnSe was demonstrated with an output power of 1400 mW at an absorbed pump power of 1900 mW from a Tm:YAG laser. Under continuous-wave diode pumping at 1.54 mum an output power of 15 mW was obtained from a Cr+2:ZnSe laser. Excited state absorption is shown to be negligible in the pump and laser spectral region.
