Additional Description

Preface

This thesis describes investigations on experimental studies involving spectroscopic examinations of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) with various impurity concentrations, and the laser performance of a limited number of similar materials.

The thesis is divided into three chapters, the first of which provides various background information on YAG. Chapter II describes the equipment and procedures used in performing the spectroscopic studies and presents the results obtained. This chapter emphasizes previously unreported data which has been evaluated with respect to laser operation. Chapter III is devoted to the presentation of new laser data with interpretations reflecting the spectrocopic research of the previous chapter. This section concludes with recommendations for future investigations which should serve to further validate the conclusions reached during these studies.

I wish to express my appreciation to the staffs of Raytheon Company, Sperry Research Laboratory, Union Carbide Corporation, and USAECOM, Fort Monmouth, for the many discussions and material samples and to Dr. F.A. Brand, my advisor, for his enlightening and enthusiastic support during these investigations.
