ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was made feasible from the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations in the vicinity of to Nd three + ions from the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has permitted for a thorough Evaluation on the performance and efficiency of the laser process. QCW output energies as superior as eighteen mJ/pulse
