Abstract

Principal goal of this research program (which was began in the mid of 60’s [1,2]) is an investigation and utilization all nonlinear-transformation processes in activated insulating crystals for developmpent and creation of new operating schemes and types of crystalline lasers, as well as new nonlinear-active laser crystals having distinct secon- and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities.
