ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL CAN BE FUN FOR ANYONE

Pumping at 460 nm was made probable from the Ce three + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations near to Nd 3 + ions inside the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping techniques has allowed for a thorough Examination from the overall performance and performance of this laser system. QCW output energies as significant as 18 mJ/pulse are
