This paper presents the absorption spectra, excited spectra and fluorescence spectra of Nd: YAP, Ce: YAP and Nd, Ce: YAP. It is believed that there is an energy transfer from Ce3+ to Nd3+ and it is possible to improve the laser efficiency of Nd: YAP sensitized by Ce3+.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
