  2. Neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium-doped_yttrium...

    Neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO 4) is a crystalline material formed by adding neodymium ions to yttrium orthovanadate. It is commonly used as an active laser medium for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. It comes as a transparent blue-tinted material. It is birefringent, therefore rods made of it are usually rectangular.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttrium_orthovanadate

    Yttrium orthovanadate (YVO 4) is a transparent crystal. Undoped YVO 4 is also used to make efficient high-power polarizing prisms similar to Glan–Taylor prisms. [1] There are two principal applications for doped yttrium orthovanadate: Doped with neodymium it forms Nd:YVO 4, an active laser medium used in diode-pumped solid-state lasers. [2]

  4. Neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium-doped_yttrium...

    Neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Nd:YLF) is a lasing medium for arc lamp-pumped and diode-pumped solid-state lasers. The YLF crystal (LiYF 4 ) is naturally birefringent , and commonly used laser transitions occur at 1047 nm and 1053 nm.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

    The beam is highly focused and collimated—in most non-reflective materials like wood, plastics and enamel surfaces, the conversion of light energy to heat is more than {x%} [vague] efficient. [4] However, because of this efficiency, the equipment used in laser engraving may heat up rather quickly. Elaborate cooling systems are required for ...

  6. Nd:YAG laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nd:YAG_laser

    Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y 3 Al 5 O 12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant , neodymium in the +3 oxidation state, Nd(III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are ...

  7. Rare-earth element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element

    One of the most common classifications divides REE into 3 groups: light rare earths (LREE - from 57 La to 60 Nd), intermediate (MREE - from 62 Sm to 67 Ho) and heavy (HREE - from 68 Er to 71 Lu). REE usually appear as trivalent ions, except for Ce and Eu which can take the form of Ce 4+ and Eu 2+ depending on the redox conditions of the system ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics_of_Business...

    Business rules represent the primary means by which an organization can direct its business, defining the operative way to reach its objectives and perform its actions.. A rule-based approach to managing business and the information used by that business is a way of identifying and articulating the rules which define the structure and control the operation of an enterprise [1] it represents a ...

    The OMG Decision Model and Notation standard is designed to standardize elements of business rules development, specially decision table representations. There is also a standard for a Java Runtime API for rule engines JSR-94. OMG Business Motivation Model (BMM): A model of how strategies, processes, rules, etc. fit together for business modeling
