  • Abstract
    We report passive Q-switching of the Cr3+:LiCaAlF6 (Cr:LiCAF) laser, Cr3+:BeAl2O4 (alexandrite) laser, and Cr3+:Al2O3 (ruby) laser with a durable solid state polymer dye Q-switch: 1,1´,3,3,3´,3´-hexamethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (HITCI) doped organically modified silicate (ORMOSIL) saturable absorber
