Hey, just found out that the wavelength should be about 3-2.5 micrometer. Are there any high powered lasers available in that range commercially that won't destroy my wallet? If not, I'm looking at making an er yag diode pumped laser, but I can't find a small enough crystal. Is there a...

I'm going to do more research about the VO2 films to see if I can use a lower wavelength with a diode, and continue research into state systems lasers. Just from reading SAM's website, I think I could manage to do it with a er yag rod and diode pump cheaply. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the suggestions about the pumped lasers, I completely forgot to check those. I found some suitable rods, I'll just now have to figure out how to put everything together. One last question, does the output power only depend on the pump, or does it depend on the lasting rod as well?

If it'd be impossible to find a direct diode laser of the exact wave length, is there a way to take a 808 nm laser and change the wavelength to about 2000 nm?

I'm trying to make an optical switch using vanadium dioxide thin films. When below 60 degrees C, these thin films are transparent in the mid infrared spectrum. However, once heated above 60 degrees, they become highly reflected. I'm trying to use a high powered laser to heat up the films, that...

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a little while now, and so far I haven't found anywhere I could buy a mid infrared range laser. I'm trying to do a optical experiment, and it won't work without a 1500-2400 nm 300 mW laser. I'm willing to build a laser to do this, but I can't even find a proper...
