Abstract

An F₂⁺ color center laser operation has been performed using a two-mirror cavity at room temperature by photo-ionizing of the F₂ color centers in LiF crystal. The ionization was undertaken with the 532 nm second harmonic radiation of pulsed Nd³⁺-doped YAG laser. We observed the F₂⁺ broadband (i.e. free-running mode) laser oscillation with a peak at 930 nm and compared with the broadband LiF:F₃⁺ color center laser oscillation.
