Description
Laser performance of twinned 90% Nd--10% Y-pentaphosphate (0.9 Nd--0.1 YP5O14) crystals with dimensions typically 4.5x3 mm in diamond-shaped cross-section by 2 mm thick is reported. Power conversion efficiencies of approx. =24% and peak power outputs of approximately 240 mW were obtained under optical excitation with a repetitively pulsed argon laser. Samples of 0.75 Nd--0.25 InP5O14, 0.1 Nd--0.9 YP5O14, 0.1 Nd--0.9 CeP5O14, and 0.1 Nd--0.9 GdP5O14 were also lased
