    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    High temperatures enhance alexandrite laser performance. Researchers found that increasing temperature up to 225°C significantly boosted laser gain, efficiency, and pulse energy, while also shifting the output wavelength.

    • Laser gain and efficiency increased with temperature, peaking at 225°C.
    • Peak pulse energy at 225°C was over four times higher than at 34°C.
    • Output wavelength showed a monotonic increase from 752 nm at 34°C to 790 nm at 310°C.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevated temperatures significantly improve the performance of flash-pumped alexandrite lasers.
    • Temperature tuning offers a method to adjust the output wavelength of alexandrite lasers.
    • Findings provide valuable data for designing and operating alexandrite laser systems in variable thermal environments.
