A cw laser using F/sub 2//sup +/ centers in KF, continuously tunable over the range 1.26< or =lambda< or =1.48 ..mu..m and having a measured slope efficiency of 30%, is described. A selective, two-step photoionization process was used to provide the required F/sub 2//sup +/-center density. Also, preliminary report is made of an F/sub 2//sup +/-center laser in LiF having cw outputs in excess of 1 W.
