Nd:YAG is a four-level gain medium (except for the 946nm transition), offering substantial laser gain even for moderate excitation levels and pump intensities. It allows for high gain efficiency and thus low threshold pump power. Nd:YAG lasers can be diode pumped or lamp pumped. Flash lamp pumping is possible due to the broadband pump absorption mainly in the 800nm region and the four-level characteristics. The most common Nd:YAG emission wavelength is 1064 nm.
