Frequently Asked Questions

TSAG is a magneto-optic crystal that is used as a key isolator material for next generation fiber lasers. It is ideal for use in visible and infrared regions and is used for Faraday Rotators and Optical Isolators.

TSAG has a large Verdet constant, low absorption, high power compliance, low thermally-induced birefringence, and can be made small. Its Verdet constant is about 20% higher than that of TGG and its absorption is about 30% less than that of TGG.

The density of TSAG is 5.91g/cm3 and it is grown using the Czochralski Growth Method.

TSAG has a chemical formula of Tb3Sc2Al3O12, a cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of a=12.3Å, and a transmittance range of 400-1600nm. It also has a melting point of 1970℃±10℃.

TSAG has an AR coating of <0.3% at 1064nm, a scratch/dig surface quality of 10/5, a perpendicularity of <5 arc min, a parallelism of <1/10 wave at 633nm, a flatness of 0.10mm @ 45°, and a length tolerance of +0.00mm/-0.05mm. Its diameter tolerance is unspecified.
