Stimulated emission was observed when ZnTe, ZnSe, and CdS single crystals were exposed to two-photon excitation by a train of ruby laser picosecond pulses. The lasing wavelengths for ZnTe, ZnSe, and CdS crystals were 530, 450, and 495 nm, respectively. The angular divergence was 19--21/sup 0/ and the laser action occurred at peak exciting pulse intensities of around 1 GW/cm/sup 2/.
