摘要
The highly doped Nd:YAG (Nd concentration as high as 3 at.%) crystals were grown by the temperature gradient technology. The spectral properties of these highly doped Nd:YAG crystals were reported and compared with that of the traditional Nd:YAG (1.1 at.% Nd) grown by the Czochralski method. Although concentration quenching exists in highly doped Nd:YAG crystals, the laser performances have demonstrated that highly doped Nd:YAG crystals have the advantages over that of the traditional grown Nd:YAG such as efficiencies, especially used in microchip lasers.
