Abstract

The Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd-YAG) laser is a solid state laser widely used in industry, medicine and environmental monitoring. With Q-switching, it can deliver pulses of high energy and short duration at 1.06 μm. This paper describes the Nd-YAG laser system being developed at the Ateneo.
