ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL OPTIONS

Pumping at 460 nm was made doable through the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations close to to Nd three + ions while in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has authorized for a radical Evaluation in the overall performance and effectiveness of the laser system. QCW output energies as large as eighteen mJ/puls
