Active elements from Erbium doped Yttrium Scandium Gallium Garnet crystals (Er:Y3Sc2Ga3012 or Er:YSGG), single crystals, are desinged for diode pumped solid-state lasers radiating in the 3 µm range. Er:YSGG crystals show the perspectiveness of their application alongside with the widely used Er:YAG, Er:GGG and Er:YLF crystals.
Flash lamp pumped solid-state lasers based on Cr,Nd and Cr,Er doped Yttrium Scandium Gallium Garnet crystals (Cr,Nd:Y3Sc2Ga3012 or Cr,Nd:YSGG and Cr,Er:Y3Sc2Ga3012 or C...
