Cr:ZnSe laser crystals offer several advantages: generally no excited-state absorption or upconversion, an extremely broad absorption band, a large emission cross section, excellent fluorescence quantum efficiency at room temperature, an ultrabroad emission bandwidth, and good chemical and mechanical properties. These characteristics make them excellent gain sources for efficient, powerful tunable mid-infrared lasers. Because the mid-infrared band is an atmospheric transmission window, Cr:ZnSe laser crystals have important application prospects in optical communication, pollutant-gas detection and industrial combustion-product testing.

Key Features

Broad tunability (emission from 2.1-3.1μm); broad absorption band; large gain cross section (σ emission 〜9 × 10-19 cm²); minimal excited-state absorption issues (spin transitions of the upper-level excited state are forbidden); higher thermal conductivity than YAG (18w/m·K for ZnSe versus 13w/m·K for YAG); high IR transparency (0.6-20μm).
