Generation in an Nd:glass laser with a lithium fluoride color-center Q-switch
Abstract
Experimental results are presented on the generation characteristics of an Nd:glass laser, Q-switched using lithium fluoride with F2(-) color centers. The spectroscopic parameters of the Q-switch are determined, and the present results are compared with those for a YIG laser. Results confirm the effectiveness of lithium fluoride with F2(-) color centers as a Q-switch material for Nd:glass lasers.
