ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL FUNDAMENTALS EXPLAINED

Pumping at 460 nm was produced doable with the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations around to Nd 3 + ions from the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has allowed for a radical Examination of the general performance and effectiveness of the laser program. QCW output energies as high as eighteen mJ/pulse are repor
