| Popis: | A comparative research into the use of Cr 4+ -doped YAG, YSGG and LuAG (Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 ) as saturable absorbers for the 1.06 μm emission of Nd:YAG laser has been conducted. Q-switched pulses with temporal duration ranging from 23 to 52 ns (FWHM) were observed for the different garnets under investigation. Cross-sections for ground state and excited state absorption were evaluated by fitting our saturation data to Frantz-Nodvik equation. |
