Abstract

Fe²⁺:Cd_1-xMn_xTe solid solution spectroscopic and lasing properties depending on temperature and Mn concentration x were investigated. A set of Fe²⁺:Cd_1-xMn_xTe crystals with different concentration of Mn (x = 0.1, 0.52, 0.68, and 0.78) was synthesized using Bridgeman technique with the Fe²⁺ ions doping (c ~ 10¹⁷ cm^-3) during the synthesis process. The absorption spectra are broad covering the range from 2700 to 6000 nm with the maximum around 3500 nm. The fluorescence spectra are also broad ranging from 3500 nm to 7000 nm. The Fe²⁺:Cd_1-xMn_xTe laser oscillations at 77 K under short pulse (~200 ns) Fe:ZnSe cryogenically-cooled 4080 nm laser pumping and under long pulse (~150 us) Dy³⁺:PbGa₂S₄ 4330 nm pumping were achieved successfully. The output energy of ~3 μJ was achieved in both cases. The oscillation spectrum maxima at 77 K were ~4950 nm for x = 0.1; ~5130 nm for x= 0.52; and ~5300 nm for x=0.78.
