Up conversion measurements in Er:YAG; comparison with 16 μm laser performance

Up conversion significantly affects Er:YAG lasers. Measurements performed here for low Er concentration are markedly different than reported high Er concentration. The results obtained here are used to predict laser performance and are compared with experimental results.
