Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Direct Nd: Y AG R2 pumping (869nm) was demonstrated and compared to ''traditional" 807nm excitation. Oscillator slope efficiency increased 12% and threshold dropped 13%. The experiment results obtained fit the theoretical predictions.
