Detailed introduction

Yb:YAG is one of the most promising laser-active materials and more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped systems.Compared with the company used Nd:YAG crystal,Yb:YAG crystal has a much larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements for diode lasers,a longer upper-laser level lifetime,three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power.

PRODUCT FEATURE

Very high slope deficiency

High optical quality

High thermal conductivity,High compressive strength

No excited-state absorption or up-conversion

Very low fractional heating,less than Nd:YAG

Broad absorption bands,about 8nm 940nm

Conveniently pumped by reliable in GaAs diodes( 940nm or 970nm)
