ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL NO FURTHER A MYSTERY

Pumping at 460 nm was made probable by the Ce three + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations around to Nd 3 + ions while in the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping strategies has permitted for an intensive Examination in the efficiency and effectiveness of the laser process. QCW output energies as significant as 18 mJ/pulse are
