Abstract
The influence of gamma irradiation on optical and lasing properties of YAG:Er, YAG:CTH, YAG:Nd and YAG:Cr4+ single crystals were studied. Fo r no thermal annealed rods from YAG:Er and YAG:CTH crystals the increa se of laser output energy was established. The mechanisms of radiation sensibilization are discussed.
