Neodymium glass laser having room temperature output at wavelengths shorter than 1060 nm.
Abstract
Abstract LASERABLE MATERIAL DOPED WITH A QUANTITY OF NEODYMIUM IONS IN A LOW CONCENTRATION (VIS., .10-3 WT. PERCENT) WHICH RESULTS IN THE GLASS EXHIBITING A RATIO OF FLUORESCENT INTENSITY PEAKED AT 920 NANOMETERS OVER THE FLUORESCENT INTENSITY PEAKED AT APPROXIMATELY 1060 NANOMETERS OF AT LEAST .4 AS MEASURED BY A CARY MODEL 14 SPECTROPHOTOMETER. THE GLASSES ENABLE THE GENERATION OF LESER LIGHT IN A WAVEBAND WITH AN OPTICAL CENTER AT ABOUT 920 NANOMESTERS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE (APPROXIMATELY 20*C.) WHEN POSITIONED IN A LESER CAVITY WHICH IS RESONANT AT 920 NANOMETERS. TWO SUCH LASERABLE GLASSES ARE GIVEN BELOW IN WEIGHT PERCENT: CAO 46.8 43.6 ALO 39.8 37.0 MLGO 4.8 4.5 SIO2 4.8 BAO 11.4 N2DO3 3.8 3.5
