Mid-infrared[MIR]laser sources operating in the 2.7-3 μm spectral region have attracted extensive attention for many applications due to the unique features of locating at the atmospheric transparency window,corresponding to the“characteristic fingerprint” spectra of several gas molecules,and strong absorption of water.Over the past two decades,significant developments have been achieved in 2.7-3 μm MIR lasers benefiting from the sustainable innovations in laser technology and the great progress in material science.Here,we mainly summarize and review the recent progress of MIR bulk laser sources based on the rare-earth ions-doped crystals in the 2.7-3 μm spectral region,including Ee3+-,Ho3+-,and Dy3+-doped crystalline lasers.The outlooks and challenges for future development of rare-earth-doped MIR bulk lasers are also discussed.

In this study,an effective method is proposed for controlling a titanium foil surface\'s wettability.A microholes array series is fabricated on the surface of titanium foil by a femtosecond laser under different laser energy and pulse number.The changes
We report a method to reduce the detection delay temperature drift for a single-photon detector based on the avalanche photodiode[SPAD].Both the SPAD and the comparator were temperature stabilized,resulting in an ultra-low temperature drift at 0.01 ps/℃.A
We have fabricated the AlGaN solar-blind ultraviolet metal-semiconductor-metal[MSM]photodetectors[PDs]with an Al composition of 0.55.The surface roughness and dislocations of the high-Al-content Al0.55Ga0.45N epitaxial layer are analyzed by atomic force m
We demonstrate nonlinear pulse compression of an 8 kHz Nd∶YVO4 picosecond laser using the multi-pass-cell[MPC]tech-nique with fused silica as the nonlinear medium.The pulse duration is compressed from 12.5 ps to 601 fs,corresponding to a pulse shortening
All-optical analog-to-digital conversion is a paramount issue in modern science.How to implement real-time and ultrafast quantization to optical pulses with different intensities in an all-optical domain is a central problem.Here,we report a real-time dem
At the mirrors of a laser diode self-mixing interferometer,the output beams carry anti-correlated[i.e.,in phase opposition]interferometric signals,whereas the superposed noise fluctuations are[partially]correlated.Therefore,by using an instru-mental outpu
The population trapping effect of the 3F4 level is an important factor limiting the power scaling of the 2.3 μm thulium[Tm]laser on the 3H4 → 3H5 transition.In this Letter,we demonstrate a novel scheme of ground state absorption[GSA](3H6 → 3H4]and excited
