Formation of luminescence centers in Cr{sup}(3+),Li:Mg{sub}2SiO{sub}4 crystal for one-micron tunable lasing

摘要

For the first time, the key role of lithium in the formation of one-micron luminescence centers by Cr{sup}(3+) ions in forsterite single crystals has been discovered. This effect can be used for creation of Cr{sup}(3+)-forsterite laser.
