Mid-infrared micro/nano scale laser, which has attracted considerable attention in the field of laser, plays a critical role in the areas of science, economy and national defense. Thinning the Cr2+:ZnSe bulk laser materials into film is a significant way to realize 2~3 μm mid-infrared micro/nano scale laser. At present, the research about this film is still in the initial innovation stage, and has a certain academic and practical value. This project is aimed at studding the growth and luminescence properties of the Cr2+:ZnSe gain films. Electron beam evaporation will be adopted to grow the film, and the growth mechanism will be studied by molecular dynamics simulation, which will help to achieve controlled growth. In addition, an optical test platform will be developed to study the inherent relationship between the material properties and the luminescence characteristics of this film. Based on the experimental and first-principles simulation results, the crucial factors affecting the luminescent performance of the films will be analyzed，which is beneficial for enhancing photoluminescence of the films. Furthermore, a laser prototype device with the gain film will be built and the output characteristics will be lucubrated. The research of this project will provide theoretical and technical support for the realization of 2~3 μm mid-infrared micro/nano lasers.
