Cr4+:YAG Crystal
Cr4+:YAG passive Q-switches are simple to operate and manufacture, with low cost, small size and low weight. They are widely used in diode-pumped Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Nd:YVO4 lasers and other lamp-pumped Nd- or Yb-doped lasers operating at 0.8-1.2um. Chemical stability, long life, ultraviolet resistance, good thermal conductivity and a high damage threshold (>500MW/cm2) make them alternatives to conventional Q-switch crystals such as LiF and dye crystals.
