Abstract

The scientific literature records that many hundreds of different lasercrystals have been used to produce stimulated emission and laser action. Butonly a handful of these crystals have found their ways into wide-spreadpractical use. This talk asks, and attempts to answer, the questions “Whatdifferentiates the relatively few “successful” laser crystals from the ratherlarge number that weren’t? And what are the prospects for applying the basicscientific and technological knowledge gained in the past 35 years in a morepurposeful way to identify and develop new laser crystals that may enablewholly new laser-based applications in the future?
