Mid-IR laser in 3-5 μm wavelength region is in the range of atmospheric transmission window, it is in great demand for a variety of applications including molecular spectroscopy, remote sensing for environmental monitoring, industrial process, free space communication, optoelectronic countermeasures. One of the most promising approaches to reach mid-IR spectral range is based on direct lasing of Transition Metal（TM） doped II-VI chalcogenide crystals. Fe2 ＋ions doped ZnSe laser crystals offer a special blend of physical and spectroscopic parameters that make them the gain media of choice for cost effective broadly tunable lasing in Mid-IR wavelength region. Spectroscopic properties and fabrication methods of Fe：ZnSe crystal were introduced, the development history and technology status of Fe：ZnSe laser were summarized. There are still several challenges to be overcome in the development of affordable room temperature Fe：ZnSe laser including fabrication of high optical quality gain elements and developing high efficient, high energy short pulse pump sources in 3 μm wavelength region. The key problems developing high energy, high power Fe：ZnSe laser at room temperature were analyzed.
