Abstract
Rare earth-doped crystals and fibers have long been used as laser active media in the UV, VIS, and NIR spectral regions, but only a limited number of materials have shown laser emission beyond 3 μm, mainly because of the competition between radiative and non-radiative processes that limit the emission efficiency of these materials at long wavelengths.
