Abstract
The properties of a new nonlinear material for the infrared (IR) based on matrix isolated SF6 are described. Fabrication dependent saturation parameters for the homogeneously broadened KCl:SF6 composite system range from 20 MW . cm-2to 100 MW . cm-2. Applications of this material to passive mode locking of the CO2 laser are described.
