ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL SECRETS

Pumping at 460 nm was designed feasible through the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations in close proximity to to Nd 3 + ions while in the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping strategies has permitted for a thorough Examination on the overall performance and effectiveness of this laser method. QCW output energies as large as
