Abstract
Infrared fluorescence materials such as Nd:YAG and Er-doped silica fiber are widely used as laser media. There are many advantages to the presence of fluorescence in the infrared region because there are many types of optics, we can use semiconductor lasers or flash lamps for their excitation, and it is also possible to obtain a frequency-doubled beam with a nonlinear crystal in the visible light region. Therefore, such light sources are broadly applicable for scientific research and industrial use.
