Abstract

We investigate the requirements for the pulse width and intensity of the pump beam, for the Fe:ZnSe lasing medium to reach threshold. The rate equation is solved for the time dependence of the population density, N₂ of the ⁵T₂ manifold which includes the upper level for the lasing transition.
