Abstract: An analysis is made of the temperature dependence of the amplification of pulses of ~10 nsec duration in YAG:Nd³⁺, assuming that the lifetime of the lower active level is appreciable and allowing for a Boltzman distribution of the sublevel populations of the ⁴F_3/2 and ⁴I_11/2 multiplets. The suitability of this model for the active medium was confirmed experimentally.
