Gain properties of LiSrA1F(6) :Cr(3+).
Small-signal gain properties of Cr(3+)-doped LiSrAlF(6) are measured for the first time to our knowledge. Maximum small-signal gain values of 0.17 cm(-1) are reported for pi-polarized light. For sigma polarization, the gain is significantly suppressed by excited-state absorption.
