FASCINATION ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was built feasible by the Ce 3 + co-dopant that enables transfer of excitations near to Nd 3 + ions from the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping schemes has allowed for a thorough Investigation in the functionality and efficiency of this laser technique. QCW output energies as significant as eighteen mJ/pulse are reported
