激光晶体的现状及发展趋势

在分析激光晶体的研究现状的基础上，指出其未来应用及主要发展趋势：面向先进制造技术、激光武器等应用的（1μm波段）高功率、大能量激光晶体；面向人眼安全、遥感、光通讯、医疗等应用的红外激光晶体；面向全色显示、光刻等应用的蓝绿紫和可见光激光晶体；LD泵浦超快激光增益和放大介质材料．

Recent developments and research status of laser crystals were reviewed. In the authors' points, the main developing trends and research frontier in this field should be focused in the following four directions. First, high-power and large-energy laser crystals at 1 mu m for advanced fabricating techniques and novel laser weapons. Second, practical mid-infrared laser crystals for eye-safety, remote sensing, optical communications, medical treatment, etc. Third, laser crystals emitting at UV and visible regions for color displaying and optical lithography. Fourth, super-fast laser gain and amplifier media suitable for LD pumping.
