ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL FOR DUMMIES

Pumping at 460 nm was designed doable by the Ce 3 + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations in close proximity to to Nd 3 + ions while in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping strategies has authorized for a radical Evaluation of the efficiency and performance of this laser technique. QCW output energies as superior as 18 mJ/pulse
