Key Features

Thermal lensing effect is much smaller than YAG crystal Relatively small stimulated emission cross-section is conducive to low-threshold continuous operation Suitable for medium repetition rate high average power Q-switched locks Efficient single-mode operation with high output power and low beam divergence The output linearly polarized laser is beneficial to obtain high-efficiency Q-switching and frequency-doubling output Large diameter round rods or large size slats also obtain uniform pattern laser output The 1053nm laser wavelength matches the gain curve of phosphate neodymium glass and is suitable as an oscillator and preamplifier for high power neodymium glass laser systems.
