TL;DR: Recent progress in fabrication and mid-IR lasing of transition metal doped II-VI single crystal and thermo-diffusion doped polycrystalline and hot-pressed ceramic gain media as well as nano and micro-crystaline laser active powders, powders in the liquid suspension, polymer-film, thin film waveguides and chalcogenides glass composites is reported as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, transition metal doped II-VI materials and recent progress in chromium and Fe-doped solid-state mid-IR lasers are reviewed and compared. But the authors focus on the performance of these materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, recent advances in Cr2+ and Fe2+ doped mid-IR polycrystalline, hot-pressed ceramic, waveguides, powders, powderers in the liquid suspension and polymer-film, and quantum dot laser materials fabrication and lasing under optical excitation are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported record nanosecond output energies of gain-switched Cr:ZnSe lasers pumped by H 2 Raman shifted Nd:YAG laser pumping, achieving 3.1 mJ of output energy, 52% slope efficiency and 110 nm linewidth at a wavelength of 2.47 μm.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the highest average power of 35W (0.35J per pulse) of Fe:ZnSe laser operating at 100 Hz repetition rate in nonselective cavity, and 23 W ( 0.23J per pulses) in dispersive cavity.
