Spectroscopic investigation of Co2+:CdTe was performed to evaluate it’s potential as a lasing medium. The sample had a targeted doping concentration of 2% and measurements were performed from 10 - 120K. Cross-sections for Co:CdTe were calculated using Füchtbauer-Ladenburg and reciprocity methods. Calculations suggest the potential for efficient lasing at ~3.7μm when pumped by a 3μm laser source on the 4A2 ↔ 4T2 transition. The fluorescence lifetime was measured to quantify the temperature dependence of the non-radiative relaxation rate. This work aims to characterize Co:CdTe as a novel gain medium for compact, tunable mid-infrared lasers operating within the atmospheric transmission window.
