The light from a lasersiode is used to excite neodymium atoms in a Nd:YAG crystal. The power emitted by the laser diode can be measured as a function of the supply current. The fluorescence spectrum of the Nd:YAG crystal is analysed and the main absorption lines of the Nd-Atoms are verified. Finally the half-life of the 4F3/2-level is estimated. With only a small number of additional components it is possible to build a Nd:YAG laser with this system. 1 Flat rail 500 mm with scale 1 Laser diode 450 mW in X-Y adjustment holder on carrier 1 Control electronics LDS 1200 1 Beam shaping optics in holder on carrier 1 Beam Focusing in holder on carrier 1 Nd:YAG crystal in holder adjustable on carrier 1 Filter holder on carrier with filter RG 1000 1 Photo detector in holder on carrier and adjustment target 3 BNC cables 1 IR detector converter screen 800-1200 nm 1 Set for optics cleaning 1 User manual
