CONSIDERATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was created possible with the Ce three + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations near to Nd 3 + ions during the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has allowed for a radical analysis with the efficiency and performance of this laser technique. QCW output energies as superior as 18 mJ/pulse are described,
