Sensitization of Nd-3(+) laser glass and Faraday rotator glasses
Abstract
Seven different fluorophosphate glass compositions were doped with cerium and terbium. Initial results indicated that these glasses, as they stood, had only a limited ability to dissolve the rare earth ions. A series of melt modifications was attempted to improve the solubility.
