Neodymium glass laser having room temperature output at wavelengths shorter than 1060 nm
Abstract
Abstract LASERABLE MATERIAL DOPED WITH A QUANTITY O NEODYMIUM IONS IN A LOW CONCENTRATION WHICH RESULTS IN THE GLASS EXHIBITING A RATIO OF FLUORESCENT INTENSITY PEAKED AT 920 NANOMETERS OVER THE FLUORESCENT INTENSITY PEAKED AT APPROXIMATELY 1060 MANOMETERS OF AT LEAST .4 AS MEASURED BY A CARY MODEL 14 SPECTROPHOTOMETER. THE GLASSES ENABLE THE GENERATION OF LASER LIGHT IN A WAVEBAND WITH AN OPTICAL CENTER AT ABOUT 920 MANOMETERS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE (APPROXIMATELY 20*C.) WHEN POSITIONED IN A LASER CAVITY WHICH IS RESONANT AT 920 NANOMETES. FOUR SUCH LASERABLE GLASSES ARE GIVEN BELOW IN WEIGHT PERCENT: CS2O 68.9 69.1 52.4 61.6 ND2O3......... 2.0 3.0 2.0 3.0 TIO2........ 29.1............................. B2O3 27.9 35.4 GEO2 45.6
