Orientation of Nd${}^{3+}$ dipoles in yttrium aluminum garnet: A simple yet accurate model

Sylvain Schwartz, Gilles Feugnet, Maxence Rebut +2

We report an experimental study of the 1064nm transition dipoles in neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) by measuring the coupling constant between two orthogonal modes…
