Abstract
The article [1] is a comprehensive review on recent advances in the development of novel lasing nano-crystalline ceramics as well as nonlinear crystals including organics for frequency converters. Several new attractive technologies in the physics and techniques of crystalline lasers are also discussed. Stimulated Raman scattering has been observed in metal-organic bis(guanidinium) zirconium bis(nitrilotriacetate) (GuZN-III), making this material promising for use as Raman laser converters. The cover picture is a projection of the unit cell of the GuZN-III single crystal along the [001] direction and its three structure fragments 2[C(NH2)3]+, H2O, and [Zr(NTA)2]2. The hydrogen bonding system is plotted by dashed lines for one selected guandinium and water molecule. Alexander A. Kaminskii is head of the Laser Crystal Physics Laboratory of the Institute of Crystallography and Director of the Joint Open Laboratory for Laser Crystals and Precise Laser Systems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is one of the leading researchers in physics and spectroscopy of insulating laser and nonlinear-laser crystals. Recently he has been elected member of the Editorial Board of physica status solidi (a).
