Abstract
A theoretical and experimental investigation was made of the temporal and spectral characteristics of a tunable LiF crystal laser with F-2(- ) colour centres. The temporal profiles of the output pulses overlappe d considerably the pump laser pulses because of a large amplification cross section. A study was made of the influence of a change in the pu mp laser wavelength on the spectral and oscillation characteristics of the LiF:F-2(-) laser.
