DETAILED NOTES ON ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Pumping at 460 nm was produced probable because of the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations close to to Nd 3 + ions in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has allowed for an intensive analysis on the overall performance and effectiveness of the laser system. QCW output energies as significant as 18 mJ/pulse a
