ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL FUNDAMENTALS EXPLAINED

Pumping at 460 nm was created probable with the Ce three + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations in the vicinity of to Nd 3 + ions during the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping strategies has authorized for an intensive Investigation of the effectiveness and performance of this laser process. QCW output energies as high as 18 mJ/
