“…For the CGGG:Nd laser [13], similar quantities are equal to n C = 2.0 · 10 20 cm −3 , τ C = 220 μs, σ C = 1.4 · 10 −19 cm 2 , and d C = 1.5 mm, respectively. The effective diameter D of the mode in an active element is the same and equals 90 μm for both lasers [13]. For n a = 1.5, q = 1, β = 10 −5 [11], and the inverted population density n i , which is equal to the neodymium-ion concentration, we obtain τ inY = 1.5 · 10 −13 s and τ inC = 3.1 · 10 −13 s. The 586 obtained values for τ inY and τ inC are smaller than the typical values of pulse interval jitter for the YAG:Nd and CGGG:Nd lasers [14] by several orders and seem to be the lowest possible jitter for these devices.…”
