Crystals Land

Nd:YAG (Neodimium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) is well-known laser crystal for solid-state crystal material. It is used almost in all types of solid-state lasers systems by means of the following properties:

High Gain, Low Threshold, High Efficiency.

Low Loss at 1.06 mm, High Optical Quality.

Good Mechanical and Thermal Properties.

Due to the cubic symmetry and high quality, Nd:YAG is easy to operate with TEM₀₀ mode.
