S. Kaczmarek et al., POSSIBILITY OF GAMMA-INDUCED SENSIBILIZATION PROCESS IN RARE-EARTH-DOPED YAG CRYSTALS, Acta Physica Polonica. A, 90(2), 1996, pp. 285-293
Tile influence of gamma irradiation of optical and lasing properties o
f Nd:YAG, Er:YAG and CTII:YAG single crystals was studied. The increas
e ill optical output was established for rods without thermal annealin
g. The possible mechanisms of radiation sensibilization are discussed.
