Resonant absorption in LiNdP 4O 12 lasers
Abstract
The resonant loss in LiNdP 4O 12 (LNP) lasers has been investigated. The effective resonant loss coefficient for the 1.047(7) μm laser emission was measured to be 0.042 cm -1. This value can be explained by resonant absorption due to the 4I 1 {1}/{2}→ 4F {3}/{2} transition including the reabsorption effect of the fluorescence resulting from the 4I {9}/{2}→ 4F {3}/{2} transition.
