Er:YAG
Laser wavelength: 2940nm; chemical formula: Er3+:Y3Al5O12; melting point: 1970 °C; density: 5.35 g/cm3; orientation: <111>± 5°; flatness: < λ/10 @633nm; parallelism: ≤ 30"; perpendicularity: ≤ 5 ′; surface finish: 10/5. Er:YAG is an excellent 2.94μm laser crystal widely used in medical laser systems and other fields. The source describes it as the most important active material for 3mm lasers, stating that water absorption at 3mm is 100 times that at 2mm and 100 times that at 1mm, giving 3mm lasers broad medical significance. These mm units are retained as written. The 2.94μm Er:YAG laser is widely used in surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and dentistry. Spectral properties: refractive index 1.79 @2940nm; pump wavelength 600~800 nm.
