Abstract
It is well-established that color centers (CCs) produced by ionizing radiation or short-wave radiation of the pump lamp, strongly influence the optical characteristics of yttrium-aluminium garnet single crystals [1-4], However, the possibility of positive effect of ionizing radiation on optical output of YAG lasers should not be rejected. The present work regards the effects of gamma radiation on performance of Er:YAG and CTH:YAG lasers.
