Cathodo- and radioluminescence of Tm${}^{3+}$:YAG and Nd${}^{3+}$:YAG in an extended wavelength range

A. F. Borghesani, C. Braggio, G. Carugno +2

We have studied the cathodo- and radioluminescence of Nd:YAG and of Tm:YAG single crystals in an extended wavelength range up to $\approx 5\mu$m in view of developing a new kind of…
