Abstract

We report a Cr:ZnSe channel waveguide laser operating at 2486 nm. A maximum power output of 285 mW is achieved and slope efficiencies as high as 45% are demonstrated. Ultrafast laser inscription is used to fabricate the depressed cladding waveguide in a polycrystalline Cr:ZnSe sample. Waveguide structures are proposed as a compact and robust solution to the thermal lensing problem that has so far limited power scaling of transition metal doped II-VI lasers.
