Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of new laser crystals or the development of new properties will drive the progress of laser technology and open up new fields of application, representing aboth a traditional and cutting-edge direction in laser technology. Recently, ultra-intense lasers, ultra-fast lasers, ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, ultra-high repetition frequency lasers, new wave bands and tunable lasers have been intensively investigated. New solid laser materials such as laser crystals, ceramics, glasses, and nonlinear modulation crystals continue to emerge. In response to the needs of laser technology, designing laser crystals and developing new properties of laser crystals have always been the goals of researchers in this field. The present Special Issue on “Advanced Laser Crystals” aims to present status reports summarizing the progress achieved in the last few years. The scope encompasses fundamental research, technology development, and new devices such as laser crystals and nonlinear modulation crystals, reflecting the latest research in the field. This Special Issue will further promote the development of the cutting-edge field of "laser crystals".

The effect of doping Mg, Se, and Ca by diffusion into ZnGeP2 on the optical damage threshold at a wavelength of 2.1 μm has been studied. It has been shown that diffusion-doping with Mg and Se leads to an increase in the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of a single crystal (monocrystal), ZnGeP2; upon annealing at a temperature of 750 °C, the damage threshold of samples doped with Mg and Se increases by 31% and 21% from 2.2 ± 0.1 J/cm2 to 2.9 ± 0.1 and 2.7 ± 0.1 J/cm2, respectively. When ZnGeP2 is doped with Ca, the opposite trend is observed. It has been suggested that the changes in the LIDT depending on the introduced impurity by diffusion can be explained by the creation of additional energy dissipation channels due to the processes of radiative and fast non-radiative relaxation through impurity energy levels, which further requires experimental confirmation.
