Abstract:
The energy and time characteristics of the luminescence of GLS-1 glass were investigated using pump pulses of 100–1300 μsec duration. The maximum population inversion was obtained for 300 μsec pump pulses. A method was developed for estimating the specific energy accumulated by an active material in a laser.
