摘要
Efficient room-temperature lasing is obtained in a Fe2+ : ZnSe crystal pumped by 2.9364-mu m giant pulses from an Er:YAG laser. The slope efficiency of a Fe2+ : ZnSe laser with respect to the absorbed pump energy is 13%. The laser with a dispersion resonator can be continuously tuned from 3.95 to 5.05 mu m. The luminescence lifetime of the T-5(2) level of the Fe2+ ion in a ZnSe matrix at room temperature is measured to be 355 +/- 15 ns.
