Neodymium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

D3.8*8mm NdYAG Laser Rods Neodymium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

Introduction :

Nd: YAG (Yttrium aluminum garnet doped with neodymium Nd: Y₃Al₅O₁₂) is a common laser crystal. Because of its many basic performances, Nd: YAG is still often used in near-far-infrared solid-state lasers. The main advantage of this crystal is the neodymium ion which provides the leasing activity in the crystal because it replaces a small fraction of yttrium ions in the crystal. Nd: YAG is mainly used as a laser in industrial, medical, and scientific applications

Main Applications :

• Materials Processing, Welding, Cutting
• Medical Laser Systems
• Pulse and CW Operation
• Range finders and illumination devices;
• Used in engineering applications such as trimming, drilling;
• Used for flow visualization techniques;

Main Advantages :

• High gain
• Low threshold
