ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL OPTIONS

Pumping at 460 nm was made doable through the Ce three + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations near to Nd 3 + ions during the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping strategies has permitted for a thorough Assessment from the effectiveness and efficiency of this laser process. QCW output energies as high as 18 mJ/pulse are claimed, wh
