摘要：
We present the determination of the energy transfer upconversion (ETU) coefficient for Nd:YAG via the z-scan technique, achieved by studying the irradiance dependence of the transmission of a pump laser tuned to the absorption peak around 808 nm. A spatially dependent two-level rate equation model has been utilized to predict the transmission dependence as a function of the sample's position in the z-scan experiment, with the ETU coefficient the only free parameter. Comparing experimental results with the model's output, the ETU coefficient for 1 at.% Nd:YAG is determined to be 5.1 +/- 0.4 x 10(-17) cm(3)/s.
