A 19-mW lasing threshold, 38% slope efficiency, 200 mW output power, and a broad tuning range (724-816 nm) were realized.Femtosecond pulsesChromiumDiode-pumpedEfficient and low-threshold alexandrite lasers pumped by high-brightness diodesConference proceedinghttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85039744890&doi=10.1364%2fassl.2013.atu3a.26&partnerID=40&md5=2e52312eccaedb6e5b8ac143c2fecf47914
