Abstract
A comparative study of Nd-doped mixed garnet laser materials for compositional tuning in the 0.94 µm region is presented. Of primary importance is a determination of the 0.94 µm line center with composition and the ratio of 0.94 µm cross section to the cross section at 1.06 µm. An assessment is made.regarding the best choice of material for 0.94 µm lasers in H2O DIAL applications.
