“…Widespectrum laser systems are particularly important, including covering "atmospheric transparence windows" (3-5 μm) and absorption bands of numerous molecular compounds: water molecules and oxygen-and carbon-containing impurities. Technologies for the synthesis of new crystals [6][7][8][9][10][11] , glasses [6,7,[12][13][14] , laser ceramics based on spinels [15][16][17][18] , and luminescent materials with a low-frequency phonon spectrum based on oxohalogenide systems-fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide-are being developed [19][20][21][22][23][24] . The authors note that the replacement of fluorine with other ions-chlorine, bromine, or iodine-in systems significantly extends the transparency range of glass-crystal ceramics to a longer-wave region.…”
