Erbium-doped glass (Er Cr Yb Glass) Cr14

Erbium-doped glass (Er Cr Yb Glass) Cr14

Supplier
Crylink
Part Number
Cr14
Category
Laser Crystals
Origin
China

Erbium-glass lasers doped with Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Cr³⁺ provide useful coherent sources near 1.5μm, a relatively eye-safe spectral region, and are widely used in lidar and ranging, fiber communication and laser surgery. Despite major progress in InGaAs laser-diode pump sources, Xe flashlamps remain useful pumps for erbium-glass lasers because of their high reliability, low cost and simple system design. Approximately half of flashlamp radiation is emitted in the visible and near-infrared (IR), so Cr³⁺ is introduced into Yb-Er laser glass as a second sensitizer to use this energy.
