Abstract

This paper provides a detailed description of the preparation and characterization of diffusion-doped Cr2+ :ZnSe and Fe2+ :ZnSe. In the experiments, Cr2+:ZnSe samples with peak absorption coefficients (1775 nm) of as high as 74 cm(-1) and fairly good spatial uniformity were obtained. In the case of Fe2+:ZnSe, samples with a maximum absorption coefficient of 11.6 cm(-1) at 2400 nm were synthesized. A three-dimensional analytical diffusion model was further developed to determine the diffusion coefficient D from absorption data. At 1000 degrees C, D was determined to be 5.4 x 10(-10) cm(2)/s and 7.95 x 10(-10) cm(2)/s for Cr2+:ZnSe and Fe2+:ZnSe, respectively. In the case of Cr2+:ZnSe, we employed an alternative technique to determine the diffusion coefficient from position-dependent absorption data taken with a Cr4+:YAG laser. With this method, the temperature variation of D was further measured in the 800-1100 degrees C temperature ranges. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
