Research progress on laser crystals in China
Abstract
Current Chinese research on laser crystals is now quite extensive and involves more than 30 research teams with nearly 1,000 technicians and workers actively engaged in the study of more than 20 types of laser cyrstals. Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) and ruby (Cr:Al2O3) lasers have been manufactured and are widely employed. There are several new and promising crystals now under study which will find applications, and both basic and exploratory research have given rise to new developments.
