Abstract:
Transition-metal-doped II-VI semiconductors possess a unique blend of physical, spectroscopic, optical, and technological parameters. These materials enable high power lasers in important middle-infrared range; they are also well suited for generation and efficient nonlinear frequency conversion of ultra-short optical pulses.
