Abstract
There is a need for near IR coherent radiation in the technologically important areas of ranging, remote sensing, and optical communications. Chromium activated forsterite (Cr:Mg2SiO4) is emerging1·2 as a practical tunable near IR laser suitable for such needs. We present the characteristics of laser emission in Cr:forsterite.
