Er,Yb:YAB
Crystal cross-section: (1×1)-(10×10)mm2; crystal thickness: 0.5-5mm; dimensional tolerance: ±0.1mm; wavefront distortion: ≤λ /8@633nm; surface quality: 10/5 (MIL-PRF-13830B); flatness: ≤λ /6@633nm; parallelism: better than 10 arcseconds. Erbium/Ytterbium-Codoped Yttrium Aluminum Tetraborate Laser Crystal Er,Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 Er:Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 is a new erbium/ytterbium-codoped laser material for the 1.55m band. Compared with erbium/ytterbium-codoped phosphate glass, it enables higher-power continuous-wave and higher-repetition-rate pulsed laser operation. The 1.55μm band is eye-safe, lies in the atmospheric transmission window and the lowest-loss window of silica fibers, penetrates smoke strongly, and matches the sensitive region of Ge and InGaAs detectors operating at room temperature. Applications include lidar, ranging, three-dimensional imaging, and target recognition.
