title = "Gain-switched operation of ultrafast laser inscribed waveguides in Cr: ZnSe",
abstract = "We report the first demonstration of a gain-switched chromium-doped zinc selenide channel waveguide laser. The guided-wave structure was produced by ultrafast laser inscription and exhibited output pulse energies up to 12 mu J. The laser exhibited narrow spectral output with a linewidth less than 1 nm. The beam quality was measured to be M-2",
