1. ~ 2 μm laser crystals doped with Tm3+ or Ho3+Tm3+ has a strong absorption near ~790 nm and a large absorption cross-section, so the ~790 nm commercial LD can be directly used as a pump source. Another feature and advantage of this band is that there is a cross-relaxation (CR) energy transfer

Laser damage induced by microscopic defects in optical componentsAccording to the above numerical analysis results, it can be seen that cracks may be generated around the nodule seed and propagate along the radial direction. However, considering that the boundaries of nodules are usually relatively
