FACTS ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL REVEALED

Pumping at 460 nm was built achievable via the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations close to to Nd three + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping schemes has permitted for a radical analysis on the performance and effectiveness of this laser technique. QCW output energies as high as 18 mJ/pulse are described, w
