LASER MATERIAL STUDY
Abstract
The work is aimed at a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in stimulated emission in solid materials, to provide a basis for improvements in the efficiency of laser materials. Although much of the experimental work has centered around the neodymium-doped borate glasses, other ions and host materials were studied. Neodymium doped borate glass rods were fabricated in various sizes and laser action studied in order to direct basic study effort towards increased efficiency in practical configurations. This first technical report reflects the exploratory nature of the initial effort in its format and content. It is presented as a fairly complete record of raw data with current observations and reflections on the significance of these data.
