LASER MATERIAL STUDY
Abstract
A critical comparison of three types of neodymium doped laser glass was conducted. The glasses were chosen because of their widely differing fluorescence characteristics. The three consisted of a lanthanumbarium borate, a lithium-sodium silicate, and a barium crown. The glasses were fabricated into rods, 1.27 cm diameter and 30.5 cm long. Fluorescence decay data, optical quality data, output-input data and field patterns, are included in the report. The fluorescence characteristics were less significant than optical quality as a determinant in laser behavior.
