Nd:YLF is an excellent crystal that is very suitable for working in mode-locked mode to obtain short pulse laser. Nd:YLF has very small thermal lens effect (much smaller than YAG crystal), wide fluorescent line, and can generate linear-polarized beam. The relatively small stimulated emission cross section of Nd:YLF makes it suitable for continuous work with low threshold. Nd:YLF crystal has obtained important applications in inertial confinement laser fusion research projects.

One of the most important drawbacks of popular LiNbO3 crystal is its
susceptibility to photorefractive damage (optically induced change of
refractive index, usually under exposure with blue or green CW light).
The usual way to eliminate this effect is to keep LN crystals at
elevated temperatures (400K or more). Another way to prevent
photorefractive damage is MgO-doping (usually at levels of around 5 mol%
for congruent LN).

Dye Laser Handpiece are devices that screw onto the end of the laser's arm and convert the energy that the laser produces into different, new wavelengths of light.The two most common dye handpiece wavelengths are 585 nm and 650 nm,
which attach to Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers. For these wavelengths to be
produced, the Nd:YAG's 1064 nm wavelength is frequency-doubled to
produce the 532 nm wavelength, which is then converted by the dye
handpieces to produce either 585 nm or 650 nm. WISOPTIC use in-house made dye laser cells to make dye laser handpieces.

Optical Prisms are widely used to redirect light at a designated angle. They are ideal for ray deviation, or for adjusting the orientation of an image. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it. When light enters an optical prism, it either reflects off an individual surface or several surfaces before exiting, or is refracted as it travels through the substrate. WISOPTIC offers a wide range of optical prisms with various designs, substrates, or coatings.
