Tm:YAP crystal is one of the most important crystals for LD pumping 2μm laser. The anisotropic structure of Tm:YAP produces anisotropic emission cross section. Tm:YAP crystals with different orientations have different output wavelengths and operating forms for different functions. Compared with the physical and chemical properties of Tm:YAG, the 795nm pump absorption band of Tm:YAP matches the emission wavelength of commonly used high-power AlGaAs diodes better.

Compared with congruent LN (cLN) crysal, the electro-optic

Pure LiNbO3 (LN) is a good candidate for various optical devices, but
has a major disadvantage due to its low threshold optical damage. MgO:LN (congruent
compositions) is one of the possible solutions to deal with this
problem. MgO doping has played an important role in LN and shown an
increased threshold laser beam strength by 100 times. An interesting
point is that every physical property of MgO:LN (e.g.

Lithium Niobate (LN) crystal has excellent electro-optic, acousto-optic, piezoelectric and nonlinear properties. More and more attention has been paid on its application in military technology. LN crystal has large nonlinear optical coefficient and can easily achieve non-critical phase matching. As an E-O material, LN crystal has been used as an important optical waveguide material.

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).

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.

Tm3+:YLF crystal has a high absorption peak around 792 nm which locates in the diode pumping range, and also has a cross-relaxation process that provides the possibility for each absorbed pump photon to produce to ions at higher laser energy level. Tm3+: YLF laser is very suitable as a pump source for Ho3+:YAG laser. This is due to the good overlap of the emission band of Tm3+:YLF and the absorption band of Ho3+:YAG, and the ability to produce a linearly polarized output.

High
temperature phase BBO (alpha-BBO, a-BBO) is a negative uniaxial crystal
with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm
to 3500 nm. The physical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties of
alpha-BBO crystal are similar to those of the low temperature phase beta-BBO crystal.
However, there is no second order nonlinear effect in alpha-BBO crystal
due to the centrosymmetry in its crystal structure and thus it has no
use for second order nonlinear optical processes.

Corner cube prisms are optics which act as corner reflectors.
The basic operation principle is that there are internal reflections on
three mutually orthogonal prism surfaces, producing a direction of a
reflected beam which is nominally parallel to the direction of the
incident beam – with the accuracy limited only by the accuracy of the
surface orientation of the prism.
Precision prisms can offer excellent parallelism of incoming and
reflecting beams.
It is usually specified as an angular deviation, e.g.

The most notable benefit of aspheric lenses is their ability to correct for spherical aberration,
an optical effect which causes incident light rays to focus at
different points when forming an image, creating a blur. Spherical
aberration is commonly seen in spherical lenses, such as plano-convex or
double-convex lens shapes, but aspheric lenses focus light to a small
point, creating comparatively no blur and improving image quality.

An aspherical lens features a non-spherical but rotationally symmetric
shape with a curvature radius that changes at various points between the
center and the edge. Although producing this type of lens is difficult,
when manufactured properly, it offers greater functionality than a
comparable spherical lens.Spherical Lenses vs. Aspherical LensesSpherical lenses have a spherical surface and the same radius of
curvature across the entire lens. In contrast, aspherical lenses have a
more complicated surface with a gradually changing curvature from center
to edge.
