Abstract

In recent years there have been several intriguing reports^1,2,3 by Soviet researchers of tunable, color center lasers operating in LiF at room temperature with excellent stability and efficiency. Laser action has been ascribed to the aggregate centers F₂, F₂⁺, and F₂⁻ created by gamma irradiation of this material and Q-switching by F₂⁻ centers was also described⁴.
