TL;DR: Using Czochralski CZ-grown large laser crystals, 60 mJ pulses and 27mJ pulses were obtained from Ce:LiCaAlF/sub 6/ (Ce:LiCAF) and C:LiLuF/Sub 4/ (ce:LLF) lasers as discussed by the authors.

Abstract: Using (Czochralski) CZ-grown large laser crystals, 60-mJ pulses and 27-mJ pulses were obtained from Ce:LiCaAlF/sub 6/ (Ce:LiCAF) and Ce:LiLuF/sub 4/ (Ce:LLF) lasers. Additionally, a new non-collinear Brewster-pumping disk Ce:LiCAF laser oscillator scheme was demonstrated for further output-energy scaling.

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution coefficient of Ce 3+ was determined to be 0.01, and a foreign material adhering to the surface of the crystals was investigated, which indicated that the material was not a foreign substance.
