Titanium doped Sapphire is used for making ultra short pulse solid-state or wavelength tunable lasers.
Co:Spinel crystal (cobalt spinel) is an exceptional optical element for Q-switching. It serves as a saturable absorber for passive Q-switching in solid-state lasers operating within the eye-safe wavelength range of around 1.54 µm. Co:Spinel crystals available from stock.
The Cr:YAG crystal, or Chromium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet crystal, is a popular choice for passive Q-switching in lasers due to its cost-effectiveness. This crystal is known for its durability, high damage threshold, and excellent thermal properties, which contribute to its effectiveness in Q-switching applications. It’s commonly used in various types of lasers including Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, and Nd:YVO4 lasers. Cr:YAG crystals available from stock.
Yb:KGW crystal (Yb-doped potassium gadolinium tungastate) is a widely used laser active material to generate ultra-short pulses in range of few hundred femtoseconds. Large absorption cross section at around 981 nm makes the crystal well suited for diode pumping. Efficient absorption and low quantum defect let’s to build compact lasers for high power applications.
The Yb:CaF2 crystal, also known as Ytterbium-doped calcium fluoride, is a unique laser-active material that is grown using the Czochralski technique. This material is particularly useful in generating high-power, ultra-short pulses. Among the family of ytterbium-doped laser crystals, Yb:CaF2 stands out due to its exceptionally long fluorescence lifetime of approximately 2.2 milliseconds.
Yb:CALGO crystal is a novel laser active material used to generate high energy ultrashort pulses with less than one hundred femtoseconds (< 100 fs). From ytterbium doped laser crystals family Yb:CALGO crystal is used to generate the shortest pulses.
Yb:KYW crystal (Yb-doped potassium yttrium tungstate) compared to its counterpart Yb:KGW, is a remarkable material that plays an important role in laser technology. Its primary function is to generate ultrashort pulses of light, spanning just a few hundred femtoseconds. By substituting yttrium with ytterbium in the crystal lattice of Yb:KYW due to the similar sizes of these chemical elements up to 100% of Yb-doping could be achieved.
Yb:YAG crystal, also known as Ytterbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet is used in production of short and ultrashort pulse lasers. Wide absorption bandwidth centered at 940 nm makes it well suited to be pumped with laser diodes. High thermal conductivity of Yb:YAG crystal makes it a perfect gain material for high power lasers.
