The images show a high-transparency, amber-yellow YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, Y3Al5O12) crystal boule grown by the Czochralski method, together with oriented rods, rectangular slabs, solid cylinders and a hollow tube core-drilled or cut from the boule. YAG is the most widely used synthetic garnet in the optoelectronics industry: it transmits from 0.25 to 5.0μm, offers high thermal conductivity, Mohs 8.5 hardness, excellent chemical stability and a high laser damage threshold. Undoped YAG is polished into UV-to-mid-IR windows, substrates and high-temperature viewports, while rare-earth or transition-metal doped YAG (Nd:YAG, Yb:YAG, Er:YAG, Ce:YAG) serves as laser gain media and scintillators. The boule can be custom fabricated into rods, slabs, discs, cylinders and tubes with specified orientation, doping concentration, dimensions and optical coatings.
