Upconversion lifetime quenching and ground-state bleaching in Nd<sup>3+</sup>:LiYF<sub>4</sub>

Since the Nd<sup>3+</sup>:LiYF<sub>4</sub> system has some advantage over Nd<sup>3+</sup>:YAG and Nd<sup>3+</sup>:YVO<sub>4</sub> for high-power scaling of diode-end-pumping, this system has been investigated under strong excitation. in thi...
