Our Nd:YAG, also called neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet, is a laser-medium crystal with good overall performance for solid-state lasers. Flashlamps excite atoms in the Nd:YAG crystal, producing amplified light at a specific wavelength (1064 nm). Nd:YAG is widely used in biophysics, medicine, military applications, machinery, scientific research, and construction. It offers high optical quality and good mechanical and thermal properties. Nd:YAG is one of the mature laser crystals obtained by doping YAG with Nd ions. Its absorption bands are 730-760nm and 790-820nm, and it is commonly pumped by flashlamps or laser diodes. The typical laser emission peak is 1064nm; laser emission at 946nm, 1120nm, 1320nm, and 1440nm can also be obtained through certain measures. Q-switching and mode locking can produce different laser wavelengths, including 532nm, 266nm, and 213nm, and pulse widths of 10-25ns. Nd:YAG is widely used in solid-state laser systems, including frequency-doubled continuous-wave and high-energy Q-switched systems. Highly doped crystals are generally used in pulsed lasers, while lightly doped crystals are generally used for continuous-wave output.
