Preferred Label : neodymium laser;
IUPAC acronym : YAG;
IUPAC definition : A CW pulsed laser emitting radiation from excited Nd sup 3 /sup principally occurring
around 1.06 µm (the precise position depends on the matrix). The Nd sup 3 /sup is
present as a dopant in suitable crystals (e.g. yttrium–aluminium garnet, YAG) or in
suitable glasses (phosphate, silicate, etc.).;
