Frequently Asked Questions

Cr4+: YAG is typically grown by the Czochralski method.

Cr4+: YAG can be used for Q-switching and model-locking in Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4, and Yb:YAG lasers. It can also be used for pumping erbium-doped lasers and amplifiers.

Cr4+: YAG has higher reliability and longer lifetime, radiation stability, high thermal conductivity, UV resistance, and high damage threshold.

Cr4+: YAG has an emission wavelength of 1350 nm to 1600 nm, absorption coefficient of 1.0 cm-1 to 7 cm-1, and ground state absorption cross section of 4.3x10-18 cm2. Its transmission ranges from 10% to 90%, and it has an AR coating of ≤0.2% at 1064nm.

Cr4+: YAG (Cr4+: Y3Al5O12) is a crystal used for passive Q-switching in lasers.
