專業Yb:YAG crystals廠商

Yb3+:YAG crystals feature a 950 us lifetime of the 2F5/2 ytterbium energy level and a quantum defect of only ~9%. Yb:YAG crystals also possess a broad pump band at near 940 nm that is more than 10 times broader than the 808 nm pump line of Nd:YAG crystals. It makes Yb:YAG systems less sensitive to thermal shift of pump diodes wavelength. Yb:YAG lasers emit typically at either 1030 nm (strongest line) or 1050 nm. It is often used in powerful and efficient thin-disk lasers.
