Nd:KGW
Nd:KGW supports high neodymium doping and has a large emission area, giving it better single-pulse and low-repetition-rate performance than Nd:YAG. Its absorption band at 808 nm couples efficiently to LD pump sources emitting at 808 nm, improving emission efficiency. Its full width at half maximum is 12 nm, accommodating temperature-induced drift of the LD emission wavelength and benefiting diode-pumped KGw laser experiments and device research. Nd:KGW supports free-running, Q-switched, mode-locked and Raman-conversion operation. Nd:KGW produces stimulated Raman scattering and can become a multiwavelength visible source after frequency doubling. Its Raman performance reflects its large stimulated-emission cross section, low pump threshold, high output energy, high conversion efficiency and two high Raman gain coefficients at 768 and 901 cm⁻¹. Fundamental wavelengths of 911 nm, 1067 nm and 1351 nm can be frequency-doubled to produce red, yellow and blue light at 0.455 um, 0.533 um and 0.675 um. Applications include materials processing, optical communication, remote sensing, medicine, environmental monitoring and precision metrology.
