Interesting Stuff!
-Al2O3 films doped with trivalent
neodymium
maximum cw output power of 137 mW and a
slope efficiency of 7.5%
PLD is good for achieving useful
concentrations of rare earth dopants which
wouldnt otherwise be possible
Temperature dependence on lasing of Ti:AL 2O3

Lower fluence leads to less particulates

Growth rate above 0.1nm/s is generally bad.

Increase in pulse E does not mean linear
increase of deposition
