  • Abstract
    In this paper laser operation in mixed Nd:YGLF crystals with different gadolinium concentration is presented. The results of Nd:GLF are compared with the advantages of the mixed crystals. Nd:YLF continues to be an excellent laser medium for near infrared high power lasers, especially for Q-switched and amplifier applications where its long storage lifetime is of advantage. The material Nd:YLF when considering its use for high power laser action under diode pumping.
