Nd:YAG Laser Crystal

Nd:YAG Laser Crystal

Nd:YAG is the laser crystal with the best overall performance and the widest application, used across industrial, medical, military and scientific research. It offers high gain, a low threshold, high efficiency, high optical quality and low loss, together with high mechanical strength, excellent thermal conductivity and good thermal shock resistance. It suits continuous, pulsed, Q-switched and mode-locked operation, frequency doubling, and other high average power solid-state lasers.
