Ho:YAG
Ho ions emit near 2100nm, in the eye-safe band, with high atmospheric transmission. This gives them important application prospects in remote sensing, laser ranging, and lidar. The wavelength of 2100nm also lies at a water-molecule absorption peak strongly absorbed by human tissue. Medical Ho lasers penetrate only tens of micrometers into the body, causing little thermal damage to surrounding tissue, and are therefore widely used in surgery and treatment. Ho lasers can also serve as pump sources. Nonlinear effects in crystals such as ZGP can generate infrared laser output at 3~5um.
