Abstract: Radiation from a chemical oxygen – iodine laser was used for the first time to pump a Co:MgF₂ crystal laser. The attained differential (slope) efficiency of 40%, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 62%, demonstrated that a Co:MgF₂ crystal can be used for efficient conversion and summation of iodine laser beams.
