The authors have observed laser action in Al-doped germanium crystals with volumes as small as 0.03 cm{sup 3}, one order of magnitude smaller than previously studied p-Ge laser crystals. The duty cycle was increased by one order of magnitude. They improved the electric contacts and the cooling environment. Such progress marks a significant step toward continuous wave operation.
