ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL SECRETS

Pumping at 460 nm was designed doable from the Ce 3 + co-dopant that enables transfer of excitations around to Nd three + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping strategies has permitted for a radical Examination in the effectiveness and performance of this laser system. QCW output energies as high as eighteen mJ/pulse are repo
