Crystalline ZnMgSe:Cr2+: a new material for active elements of tunable IR-lasers

Abstract

Obtained is a new thermostable material for active elements of tunable IR-lasers - Zn1-xMgxSe:Cr2+ single crystals. The position of the absorption band of Cr2+ ions in wurtzite-type Zn0.8Mg0.2Se matrix is established.
