Abstract
The Cr3+,Nd3+:ZnWO4(Cr,Nd:ZW)single crystals to size of 25mm×50mm have been grown by CZ method in our laboratory.The optical and thermomechanical properties such as the absorption section,emission section,life of excitation state,laser action,are experimentally investigated.The results show that the Cr,Nd:ZW laser can operate at 950nm with 1.62mJ/pulse output energy and 0.79% slope efficiency obtained at room temperature.
