Mid-Infrared Laser Generation of Zn1−xMnxSe and Zn1&...
Two different mid-infrared (mid-IR) solid-state crystalline laser active media of Cr2+, Fe2+:Zn1−xMnxSe and Cr2+, Fe2+:Zn1−xMgxSe with similar amounts of manganese or magnesium ions of x ≈ 0.3 were investigated at cryogenic temperatures for three
