Rare earth lasers
Abstract
A tabulation of rare-earth laser ions, types of hosts employed, and rare earths used as sensitizer ions is given. Some brief comments regarding the various types of rare-earth lasers are also given. The spectral range of these lasers extends from 0.5 to 3.0 micrometers. The operating wavelengths of some selected rare-earth lasers are listed.
