Abstract
We propose new transition metal (TM)-doped composite materials for mid-IR fiber lasers. The composites are the suspension of crystalline micro- and nanosized or powders in chalcogenide glasses with the refraction index matching. Mid-IR room-temperature lasing of microcomposite material is demonstrated at the wavelength.
