Abstract
The high resolution spectroscopic and emission decay properties of Nd:YAG c eramics with up to 9 at.% Nd show that no major changes from the single cry stals other than those induced by the increased Nd concentration occur and indicate that these materials can be used for construction of efficient and high power lasers. The laser emission of a 3.8 at.% Nd ceramic laser compo nent under hot band resonant pump at 885 nm with a Ti:sapphire laser is dem onstrated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
