Abstract
We review the optical properties of the mixed crystal , propose three potential applications to which various physical properties can be tailored, and present experimental results of femtosecond optical parametric amplification in the mid IR from 5.5 to with pumping by a 1-kHz Cr:forsterite regenerative amplifier.
