Abstract :
CaF2: Sm2+laser action in temperature range 65 to 90°K is obtained with giant pulse ruby laser excitation. In addition to usual laser wavelength 0.708 μm, two other wavelengths 0.720 and 0.729 μm, known before only in luminescence, are observed for this oscillator. The oscillation duration is of 50 ns and it coincides with the pumping light duration. The efficiency of energy transformation is equal to 20 percent.
