Broadly tunable laser action beyond 3 microm from (F(2)(+))(A) centers in lithium-doped KI.
Laser action has been achieved by using lithium (F(2)(+))(A) centers in KI. The laser is continuously tunable from 2.59 to 3.65 microm; the 1.73-microm line from a pulsed Er:YLF laser is used as pump source.
