Origin

Our Yb:YAG crystal, also called yttrium aluminum garnet, is a laser crystal with good overall performance, widely used in holography, interferometry and optical storage. Yb:YAG lasers usually emit at 1030 nm, the strongest line, or 1050 nm. The crystal offers high quantum efficiency, no excited-state absorption or upconversion, high doping tolerance, a long fluorescence lifetime, a broad absorption band and emission range, and good optical, mechanical and thermal properties. It is well suited to diode pumping. Its broad absorption band maintains pumping efficiency during typical thermal shifts of diode output. High efficiency allows relatively small crystals to generate high output power. The YAG host also facilitates integration into laser designs, enabling simple, elegant designs and easier manufacture of high-power lasers. Applications include efficient, high-power diode-pumped solid-state lasers.
