Abstract

Strong thermal lenses limit the achievable output power of lasers of Cr2+:CdSe active medium, which has unfavorable thermophysical properties: low thermal conductivity and a high value of the thermo-optical coefficient, with a level of ~2 W. The transition from the classical scheme for constructing a laser source to a scheme with a moving active medium made it possible to achieve more than 20 W of continuous generation in a Cr2+:CdSe crystal.
