Active and passive mid-infrared photonic devices in ZnSe based materials

The work described in this thesis details the development of mid-infrared waveguide laser sources created through the fabrication of waveguide structures in Cr2+: ZnSe using ultrafast laser inscription (ULI). Current quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology in the 2 – 5 μm region offer compact and rob...
