Abstract

We study the lasing characteristics of the Cr2+:ZnS-crystal laser pumped by the pulsed-periodic Tm3+:YLF laser, as well as the lasing polarization properties. The Cr2+:ZnS sample was obtained by chemical vapor deposition of zinc sulfide doped by the chrome ions in the hightemperature isostatic processing. Total efficiency of the pump-power conversion to lasing power at a level of 33% was reached, which corresponds to a laser differential efficiency of about 55% in terms of the absorbed power.
