ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL OPTIONS

Pumping at 460 nm was designed achievable via the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations close to to Nd 3 + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping schemes has allowed for an intensive analysis on the performance and efficiency of this laser process. QCW output energies as significant as eighteen mJ/pulse are note
