Yb:YAG
Yb:YAG is an important diode-pumped laser crystal and is better suited to diode pumping than conventional Nd-doped laser materials. Compared with commonly used Nd:YAG, Yb:YAG has a diode-pump absorption bandwidth of 8nm, effectively reducing thermal management requirements for laser diodes. Yb ions also have a long upper-laser-level fluorescence lifetime, without excited-state absorption or energy upconversion, and low nonradiative heat loss. The thermal load generated per unit pump power is 3~4 times lower than that of Nd:YAG, making it an excellent crystal for high-average-power solid-state lasers. It can also serve as a scintillator material for neutrino and other detection applications.
