Efficient and Broadly Tunable Eye-Safe Laser Operation in a Single Crystal of Tm-Doped Strontium Fluoride (Tm:SrF_2)

摘要

We report on the growth, spectroscopic characterization, and first laser operation in this material, with a slope efficiency of 50% at 2015 nm. The laser was also continuously tunable between 1840 and 2020 nm.
