THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was produced probable with the Ce 3 + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations around to Nd three + ions inside the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping schemes has permitted for a radical Evaluation with the efficiency and performance of this laser technique. QCW output energies as high as 18 mJ/pulse are descri
