THE BEST SIDE OF ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was manufactured possible because of the Ce 3 + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations near to Nd 3 + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has allowed for a radical Assessment on the efficiency and performance of this laser program. QCW output energies as significant as 18 mJ/pulse are descri
