摘要：
The laser performance of highly neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystals is reported. In cw laser-diode pumping, a slope efficiency of 54% was achieved for a 2-at. %-doped sample, which was comparable with the slope efficiency of 55% of YVO4. The crystal also exhibited a slope efficiency of 64% under pulsed Ti:sapphire primping. Such a high efficiency suggests a total cavity loss of similar to1%, which is as low as that of commercially available 1-at. % YAG crystal. The excellent performance of the neodymium-doped YAG crystals indicates their high optical quality. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
