Abstract
Cw laser action in Na/sup +/-doped KCl and RbCl crystals containing F/sub B/(II) centers is reported. The total tuning range was 2.25< or =lambda< or =2.9 ..mu..m. Pump power at threshold was measured to be 20 mW and an output power of 18 mW was obtained. It is expected that the wavelength range for this type of laser can be extended into the 3--4-..mu..m region with RbBr and RbI crystals.
