Article Description

The causes and suppression methods of parasitic lasing in transverse direction of Fe 2+ :ZnSe laser are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. For a crystal with given diameter, there exists a maximum pump spot diameter d max, below which the parasitic lasing doesn’t occur. The effective maximum pump spot diameter d max can be increased by coating graphite on the side of the laser crystal, and the average increase of d max is about 1.7 times after coating. The thermoelastic stresses and deformations on the Fe 2+ :ZnSe crystal under pulsed pumping mode are modeled, with results showing that it is possible by choosing doping profile shape to significantly reduce optical distortions and increase pulse power.
