Crystal Resistance

AI Thread Summary

Resistance in a lasing crystal, specifically Nd:YVO4, can be represented in terms of its electrical properties. To understand this, one should explore the relationship between the crystal's conductivity and its lasing performance. Key factors include the crystal's doping concentration and temperature effects on resistance. Researching materials science literature and electrical engineering resources can provide insights into modeling resistance in lasing crystals. This foundational knowledge is essential for accurately representing resistance in Nd:YVO4.

Is there a way to represent resistance in a lasing crystal? If so, can someone tell me where to start looking?

Thanks

Please explain what kind of "lasing crystal" you have in mind, and what you mean by resistance?

Nd:YVO4, and I was told to represent electrical resistance.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
