EVERYTHING ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was made probable with the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations in the vicinity of to Nd 3 + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping schemes has allowed for a thorough Investigation from the effectiveness and performance of the laser system. QCW output energies as high as eighteen mJ/pulse are desc
