ABSTRACT:
Iron is close to a major surface layer of a yttrium aluminate laser rod so that the layer portion may have a filtering effect. The absorption factor for the short wavelength light of this layer portion depends upon the concentration c (weight percent) of the contained iron and the thickness t (.mu.m) of the iron-containing layer. Consequently, the effect of the iron in the laser rod can be evaluated as a function of the product c.times.t (wt%..mu.m) of the concentration c and the thickness t. In the range of the product c.times.t of 1<c.t<2.times.10.sup.2, a laser output could be obtained which is higher than that of the conventional laser rod not containing iron jointly with a short wavelength light filter. The thickness of the iron-containing layer is 1/4 or less of the radius of the laser rod.
