IR laser active elements fabricated by Solid-State Diffusion Bonding

The experimental results of investigations while developing a new method for creating multilayer laser media based on zinc selenide doped with iron ions with the given concentration profile of dopant in bulk and with zero concentration on the surface of the active element are presented. To create the dopant layers the solid-phase diffusion bonding method was used and the formation of a given iron ions concentration profile was realized by hot isostatic pressing.
