ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was produced possible with the Ce 3 + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations near to Nd 3 + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping strategies has permitted for an intensive Investigation with the general performance and efficiency of this laser technique. QCW output energies as superior as 18 mJ/pulse are
