Abstract:
Room-temperature tunable cw laser oscillation of Cr3+ ions in forsterite crystals (Mg2SiO4) codoped with chromium and lithium has been demonstrated, for the first time to the authors' knowledge, in pumping a crystal with a Ti:sapphire laser into the first excited level of Cr3+ ions (4A2-4T2 transition). The laser is smoothly tunable in the region of 1095-1170 nm. A slope efficiency as great as 4.4% has been achieved.
