Abstract
A Co:MgF2 crystal laser was pumped with radiation (lambda = 1.35 mu m) from a neodymium glass laser. This resulted in generation of radiatio n of 1.6 J energy with a quantum efficiency of 67%. The Co:MgF2 crysta l could thus be used for efficient conversion of lambda = 1.3 mu m las er beams, such as those from iodine photodissociation and chemical oxy gen-iodine lasers.
