ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL FUNDAMENTALS EXPLAINED

Pumping at 460 nm was made achievable from the Ce 3 + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations around to Nd three + ions inside the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping strategies has allowed for a thorough Investigation in the functionality and efficiency of this laser process. QCW output energies as substantial as eighteen mJ/pu
