Frequently Asked Questions

Yb:YAG crystal has a larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements, a longer upper-state lifetime, and three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power.

Yb:YAG crystal can be used in material processing, diode pumping, dental treatment, optical fiber amplifiers, material micromachining, holography, interference, optical storage, YAG laser marking, laser cutting and welding, multiphoton microscopy, ultrashort pulse research, LIDAR, and optical refrigeration.

Yb:YAG crystal has very low fractional heating, high slope efficiency, broad absorption bands, no excited-state absorption or up-conversion, and can be conveniently pumped by reliable InGaAs diodes at 940nm (or 970nm).

Yb:YAG crystal has a broad absorption band of about 8nm at 940nm.

Yb:YAG crystal is a crystal that is more suitable for diode-pumping than traditional Nd-doped systems.
