ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

Pumping at 460 nm was produced feasible from the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations in close proximity to to Nd three + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping schemes has allowed for an intensive Investigation on the functionality and efficiency of the laser technique. QCW output energies as large as 18 mJ/pulse
