Advanced Solid-state Lasers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent advances in the development of novel lasing crystals and ceramics, as well as inorganic and organic nonlinear-laser crystals for χ(3) and cascaded frequency converters.

TL;DR: Handbook of Hydrothermal Technology as discussed by the authors provides a single source for understanding how aqueous solvents or mineralizers work under temperature and pressure to dissolve and recrystallize normally insoluble materials, and decompose or recycle any waste material.

TL;DR: A review of Tm and Ho materials is presented in this paper, covering some fundamental aspects on the spectroscopy and laser dynamics in both single and co-doped systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, transition metal doped II-VI materials and recent progress in Cr- and Fe-doped solid-state mid-IR lasers are reviewed for tunability over 19-51 μm.
