Preferred Label : crystal laser;
IUPAC definition : A solid state laser in which the active medium is composed of ionic species supported
in a crystalline host. The first laser used a ruby crystal in which chromium ions
as the active medium were supported in an aluminium oxide (sapphire) crystal. One
of the most common crystal lasers involves neodymium atoms in a yttrium aluminium
garnet host crystal (the YAG:Nd laser).;
