RESUMO
Millisecond-pulse laser operation of Fe2+ ions at 78 K is demonstrated in the Zn1-xMnxSe:Fe2+,Cr2+ (x=0.3) crystal under a Tm fiber 1940 nm laser pumping through a Cr2+âFe2+ energy transfer process for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The laser slope efficiency was 1% with respect to absorbed pumping energy at 1940 nm. The laser central wavelength shift from 4450 nm at 78 K up to 4510 nm at 110 K was observed. Tunability from 4350 up to 4670 nm at 78 K was achieved using an intracavity tuning element.
