ABSTRACT:
A crystalline optical convertor, adapted to improve the efficiency of a resonant cavity of a laser cavity system, includes: neodymium ions used as lasing ions, a host for the neodymium ions which is used as a laser rod, convertor ions, and a crystalline convertor host. The convertor ions are selected from the group consisting of trivalent dysprosium and trivalent samarium. The crystalline convertor host is selected from the group consisting of: yttrium orthovanadate, yttrium phosphate, yttrium arsenate, yttrium chromate, gadolinium orthovanadate, gadolinium phosphate, gadolinium arsenate, gadolinium chromate and combinations thereof in solid solution. The convertor ions act as an activator for the crystalline convertor host. The combination of neodymium ions and neodymium host is arranged separate from the combination of the convertor ions and the convertor host. The optical convertor is used to convert input electromagnetic radiation not readily absorbed by the neodymium ions to a wavelength which approximately matches the excitation wavelength of the neodymium ions.
