Abstract
Laser results are summarized for the low-phonon hosts KPb2Cl5 and CaGa2S4. Radiative quantum efficiencies were determined in KPb2Cl5:Dy3+ directly from emission spectra in order to accurately determine its long-wavelength potential. The results indicate that room-temperature laser action should be possible to near 9 µm in this host.
