Y3Al5O12:Nd solid-state laser
The neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12:Nd) solid-state laser is one of the most common commercial lasers, which is widely used in industrial technology, medicine, and scientific research. Y3Al5O12:Nd crystals have a unique combination of spectral-luminescent, mechanical, and thermal properties, which makes them an attractive material as an active medium for solid-state lasers. The experimental task-oriented study of the physical principles of operation and design features of the solid-state laser crystal Y3Al5O12:Nd, and optical pumping of the laser are presented in the work. Students will gain skills in assembling and aligning solid-state lasers. They will also learn how to measure the basic characteristics of lasers: output power, wavelength, generation threshold, differential and total laser efficiency. Students will study the dependence of the laser parameters on the transmission of the output mirror of the resonator. They will be able to analyze the theoretically calculated parameters of the optical resonator with experimental data. Students will also learn how to detect infrared radiation using a laser beam visualizer and photodetector.
