Abstract
YAG: Nd containing ∼ 10−3 wt% Ti showed slightly increased losses at 1·064 μm but a substantially increased gain coefficient if compared with a material containing no Ti. The increased losses may be attributed to the increased absorption near 1·064 nm and the increased gain to the better energy coupling among Nd3+ ions occupying nonequivalent sites due to the presence of Ti3+ ions. YAG: Nd, Ti may be used as a high performance pulsed laser.
