Abstract :
We demonstrate efficient passively Q-switched laser operation, based on \\hbox {Tm}^{3+}\\hbox {:LiGdF}_{4} and \\hbox {Cr}^{2+} :ZnSe, as active medium and saturable absorber, respectively. The polarized emission was centered at 1876 nm, with pulse parameters of 13 ns (duration), 467 \\mu\\hbox {J} (energy), and 37 kW (peak power) at a repetition rate of 350 Hz.
