Review of the Yb<sup>3+</sup>:ScBO<sub>3</sub> Laser Crystal Growth, Characterization, and Laser Applications

Passive Q-switching is an effective approach for generating pulsed lasers, owing to its compact and additional modulation-free design. However, to compare favorably with active Q-switching and multi-stage amplification, the output energy needs to be enhanced for practical applications. Kramers Ytter...
