Frequently Asked Questions

Yb:YAG has very low fractional heating, very high slope efficiency, and no excited-state absorption or up-conversion, high mechanical strength, and high thermal conductivity.

Yb:YAG is used in high-power diode-pumped solid-state lasers and is a good substitute for 1064 nm Nd:YAG in high-power applications.

Yb:YAG is an active laser medium that lases at 1030 nm, with a broad, 18 nm wide absorption band at 940 nm.

Yes, the frequency-doubled 515 nm version of Yb:YAG can replace the 514 nm argon lasers.

Yb:YAG can be pumped by reliable InGaAs laser diodes at 940 or 970 nm.
