Gain saturation in Nd:doped laser materials
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6764360
Gain saturation measurements on neodymium-doped laser materials is reported. Measurements at pulse durations of 1.0, 9.0, and 50 ns, and at 1064 nm and 1053 nm, were made on silicate, phosphate, and fluorophosphate glasses, and two crystalline materials, YAG and YLF. The measurement technique, calibrations, experimental cross-checks, and errors are described in detail. The philosophy behind each aspect of the measurements are discussed, schematic diagrams of the experiment are shown, and supporting data is provided.
