Neodymium-doped Yttrium-Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG)

I. Introduction

Neodymium-doped Yttrium-Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) crystal, which continues as the best of the rare earth garnet materials that are characterized by four-level laser operation which permits low threshold pulse and cw operation, is the most mature and widely used solid-state laser material

adopted by R&D, medical, industrial and military customers. Its main and obvious advantages are: high gain, low threshold, high efficiency, low loss at 1.064 mm, as well as high optical quality, good thermal conductivity and thermal shock characteristics, stable chemical and mechanical properties, which make Nd:YAG as the most suitable and commercial laser material for various modes of operation (CW, pulsed, Q- switched, mode locked and cavity dumped).

Beijing Gospel OptoTech Co. (GOT) has a complete product line with facilities for the growth, polishing and coating of Nd:YAG crystal. The advanced bonding technology has been developed in GOT to meet customers' requirements. Now GOT manufactures and supplies not only lots of disks and rods but slabs and polyhedrons with multifarious dimensions and customer specifications for versatile laser sources. Please contact our sales managers for details.

In GOT's R&D division, our engineers are developing doped YAG crystals with other various ions such as Cr⁴⁺:YAG, Yb:YAG, Er:YAG, Ce:Nd:YAG, Ho:Tm:Cr:YAG, Nd:Cr: YAG, etc., which extend the limits of the usage of YAG crystals. We have begun to supply Cr⁴⁺:YAG, Yb:YAG, Er:YAG with high optical quality in global market for years.

By the way, GOT also provides pure YAG (over 3 inches diameter) without Nd dopant, which has wide applications in micro- electronic industries. The latest technical information of YAG crystals will be provided.

So please contact us for YAG products with top quality, the best prices, and the fastest delivery!
