THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Radiation induced recharging of Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions in Ce and Nd doped yttrium-aluminium garnet crystals was observed. This result depends on the Ce3+ ion concentration and the type of ionizing radiation.Increased 2.86 µm emission comparable to Ho³�? ⁵I6→⁵I7 was achieved in Nd³�?Ho³�?codoped CaLaGa3O7 crystal for The very first time.
