Yb:YAG Crystal for 1030nm Laser-manufacture,factory,supplier from China

Ytterbium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Yb:YAG) is more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped laser crystal. Compared with the commonly used Nd:YAG, Yb:YAG has the following advantages: three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power and much larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements for diode lasers, longer upper-laser level lifetime.

Yb:YAG (Ytterbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) is one of the most promising laser-active materials with a large absorption bandwidth and typical emission at 1030 nm. Yb:YAG is more suitable for high power diode-pumped lasers than the traditional Nd-doped systems. The broad absorption band enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the typical thermal shift of diode output.

Yb:YAG's advantage is a wide pump band and an excellent emission cross section. It is ideal for diode pumping. The broad absorption band enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the typical thermal shift of diode output. High efficiency means a relatively small dimension Yb:YAG laser crystal will produce high power output. Based on the YAG host crystal, Yb:YAG can be quickly integrated into the laser design process.

BBO is an effective NLO crystal for the SHG, THG, or FHG of Nd:YAG lasers, and the first-rate NLO crystal for the FHG at 213nm. Conversion efficiencies of more than 70% for SHG, 60% for THG and 50% for 4HG, and 200mw output at 213 nm (5HG) have been obtained through using Wisoptic's BBO, respectively.BBO is also an efficient crystal for the intracavity SHG of excessive energy Nd:YAG lasers. for the intracavity SHG of an acousto-optic Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, greater than 15 w average power at 532 nm generated via an AR-coated BBO crystal produced by Wisoptic.

Polarization optics is important for both intra and extra cavity use. By using high contrast thin film polarizers in their design, laser engineers can save weight and volume within the laser system without influencing the output. Compared with polarizing prisms, polarizers have larger incident angle and can be made with larger apertures. Compared with polarizers made from birefringent crystals, the advantage of thin film polarizers made from UVFS or N-BK7 is that they can be fabricated in very large sizes, therefore are particularly well suited for high laser powers and UV wavelengths.

When choosing a window, the user should consider whether the material's transmission properties and the mechanical properties of the substrate are consistent with specific requirements of the application. Coating is another important issue for choosing a proper window. WISOPTIC offer a wide variety optical windows with different coatings, e.g. anti-reflection coated precision windows for Nd:YAG laser applications.

Dye laser headpiece made from WISOPTIC has very high conversion efficiency: 65%~75% for 532/585nm, 45%~55% for 532/650nm.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) are designed to split light by polarization state rather than by wavelength or intensity. PBS are often used in semiconductor or photonics instrumentation to transmit p-polarized light while reflecting s-polarized light. Optical isolators use PBS to eliminate feedback-induced damage. PBS are typically designed for 0° or 45° angle of incidence with a 90° separation of the beams, depending on the configuration.WISOPTIC offers a wide variety of PBS in a range of configurations including plate, cube, or lateral displacement.

Phase retardation plates, or waveplates, are polarizing optics used to manipulate the polarization state of the transmitting light without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the light. The working principle of the plate is to utilize the birefringence of certain materials which separates the incident light beam into two beams along two orthogonal optical axes within the medium. The phase retardation between the two beams of the incident light contributes to changes in the polarization state.

The Ceramic Laser Reflectors are high reflectance cavities used in solid state and CO2 laser systems. They are built either as a one-piece or two-piece system based on customer requirement.Ceramic cavities produce diffuse reflectance, which offers a very uniform beam profile. This diffuse reflectance also distributes light and consequently decreases hot spots in the pumped medium. These completely dense materials (e.g. Al2O3) exhibit higher strength and scratch resistance than traditional polymeric and thermoplastic materials.

Ceramic Laser Reflector (Ceramic Laser Cavity) works particularly well in Ruby, Nd:YAG, or Alexendrite laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost effective alternative to metal coated reflectors. Compared to metal reflectors, ceramic units offer higher reflectivity and therefore enhanced laser power. Surfaces can be sealed and coated with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk reflectivity.

Polarizer is a kind of optical filter where the light transmission depends strongly on the polarization state. Normally, light with linear polarization in a certain direction is passed, and light polarized in an orthogonal direction is either absorbed or propagated to a different direction.For other directions of linear polarization with an angle θ against the“passing”direction, the transmission exhibits a cos2 θ dependence. That can be understood by considering that linear polarization state as a linear superposition of the "passing”and the“blocked”state.Most polarizers act

Alumina Ceramic Reflectors are designed primarily for use in pumping chambers for many diverse laser systems, e.g. YAG lasers.

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.

WISOPTIC use in-house made dye laser cells to make dye laser handpieces. Pure input beam at 532nm is required to produce output beams of 585nm/595nm (energy over 100 mJ) and 650nm/660nm (energy over 80 mJ).

Nominally pure stoichiometric LiNbO3 shows lower photorefractive damage resistance than congruent crystal; however, stoichiometric crystals doped with MgO of more than 1.8 mol.

YLF is birefringent, which eliminates thermally induced depolarization loss. The gain and the emission wavelength of Nd:YLF are polarization dependent: there is the stronger 1047nm ray for π polarization, and a weaker one at 1053nm for σ polarization. Nd:YLF provides alternative to the more common Nd:YAG laser crystal for near IR operation.

Solid Laser DyesThere is some work on dye lasers based on solid media, e.g.

The EO Q-switch (Pockels cell) is an electro-optic device in which the crystal produces linear changes in the birefringence of the crystal (in contrast to the Kerr Effect, which is quadratic with E). Pockels cells are essential components in various optical devices such as Q-switches for lasers, free space electro-optical modulators, free space switches.   WISOPTIC use highly deuterated DKDP (KD*P) crystal (D%>99%) to make high quality Q-switches with high laser induced damage threshold.

Nd:YAG (Neodimium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) has been and continue to be the most widely used laser crystal for solid-state lasers.

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.

Erbium doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:Y3Al5O12 or Er:YAG) combine various output wavelength with the superior thermal and optical properties of YAG. The emission wavelength of Er:YAG with doping concentration of 50% is 2940nm, which is at the position of water absorption peak and can be strongly absorbed by water molecules. Therefore, Er:YAG laser is widely used in plastic surgery and dentistry.
