Abstract
Spectroscopy of novel laser crystals, especially dynamics of intra- and inter- ion electron excitation exchange in highly doped multi-level, partly disordered systems, as well as characteristics of such laser sources with regard to the pumping process, resonator and pumping geometry, etc. This involves first of all the less-known mid-infra-red lasers, needed for development of new instruments for telemetry and medicine. Next, some near-IR sources, which might replace Nd:YAG laser in industrial applications, especially with diode pumping. Finally, the wide-bandwidth solid gain media, which enable construction of wide-bandwidth, as well as tunable and ultrafast laser sources. Here, our focus will be novel forsterite crystals, which are more promissing than the mature Ti:sapphire. We shall participate in construction of such laser for low-coherence reflectometry, to be upgraded later to optical coherence tomography for use in medicine. Theoretical and experimental study of interaction between laser pulses and biological tissues will be continued.
