The active medium was a bulk, by Bridgman-technique grown Fe:ZnSe sample with the thickness 3.4 mm. The pumping was provided by electro-optically Q-switched Er:YAG laser with the oscillation wavelength 2.937 \u03BCm matching the local maximum of the Fe:ZnSe absorption. The Er:YAG Q-switched operation was obtained by the Brewster angle cut LiNbO3 Pockels cell placed between the rear mirror and the laser active medium. The maximum pumping pulse energy and length was 15 mJ, and ~300 ns, respectively. The pump radiation was directed into the Fe:ZnSe crystal which was placed inside the cavity formed by dichroic pumping mirror and optimal output coupler. The maximum obtained output Fe:ZnSe laser energy was 1.2 mJ. The tuning curve of generated Fe:ZnSe laser radiation covered the spectral range 3.9 - 4.7 \u03BCm."@en . "21340" . .
