ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL FUNDAMENTALS EXPLAINED

Pumping at 460 nm was made attainable with the Ce three + co-dopant that permits transfer of excitations in close proximity to to Nd 3 + ions while in the YAG lattice. Comparison of both of these pumping schemes has permitted for an intensive Investigation in the overall performance and efficiency of this laser technique. QCW output energies as sub
