Abstract

Recent efforts on lasers using divalent-transition-metal-doped crystals such as Ni:MgF₂, Co:MgF₂, V:MgF₂, and Ni:MgO show that these devices can provide stable tunable diffraction-limited outputs at wavelengths ranging from 1.1 µm for V:MgF₂ to 2.1 µm for Co:MgF₂. Continuous wave repetitively Q-switched, mode-locked, and single-frequency modes of operation have all been obtained.¹ In all cases the crystals are optically pumped by another laser, typically Nd:YAG, and are conduction-cooled to cryogenic temperatures.
