Yb:YAG Crystals and Components(for 1030nm Laser)

Yb:YAG crystal product, also known as yttrium aluminum garnet crystal, is a laser crystal with good comprehen- sive performance. Nd:YAG crystal is widely used in holographic, interference, optical storage and other fields. Yb:YAG lasers usually emit at 1030 nm (the strongest line) or 1050 nm.

The product has the characteristics of high quantum efficiency, non excited state absorption and up conversion, high concentration tolerance, long fluorescence lifetime, absorption bandwidth, wide emission range, optical, mechanical and thermal properties, and has a good application prospect.

It is an ideal choice for diode pumping. The wide absorption band enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency during the typical thermal shift of diode output. High efficiency means that Yb:YAG laser crystal with relatively small size will produce high power output.
Based on YAG main crystal, Yb:YAG can be quickly integrated into the laser design process. This combination of characteristics enables simple and elegant laser design and makes it easier to manufacture high-power lasers. It can be used in high efficiency and high power diode pumped solid-state lasers.
