Origin
China

Nd:YAP has the chemical formula Nd³⁺_: YAlO₃ and a distorted-perovskite structure in the oblique hexagonal crystal system, with space group Pbnm. Its a, b and c axes are mutually perpendicular, and it is described as a negative uniaxial, anisotropic crystal. Among neodymium-doped laser crystals, Nd:YAP combines high thermal conductivity with a large stimulated-emission cross section at the ⁴F₃/₂–⁴ I₁₃/₂ transition. It is among the most efficient known laser crystals for high-power operation at 1300nm and is primarily LD-pumped. Lasers at 1300nm are widely used in medicine, fiber communication and military applications. Water absorbs well in this band, providing good hemostatic capability for treatments including hemostasis, neurosurgery, pathological-tissue removal and wrinkle treatment. Natural birefringence also helps overcome thermal depolarization and supports nonlinear frequency conversion.
