Tm-Doped Fibre Laser Pumped Cr2+:ZnSe Poly-Crystal Laser
Tm-Doped Fibre Laser Pumped Cr^2＋：ZnSe Poly-Crystal Laser

Demonstrations of cw lasing in Cr^2＋：ZnSe poly-crystal are reported. The laser consists of a 1.7-mm-thick Cr^2＋ ：ZnSe poly-crystal disc pumped by a Tin-silica double-clad fibre laser at 2050nm. Using a concave high- reflection mirror with a radius of curvature of 500mm as the rear mirror, the laser delivers up to 1030mW of radiation around 2.367μm.
