Cr:YAG(Chromium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) – Passively Q-switched Crystal – Customized Products
Cr:YAG crystal, also known as chromium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal, with the chemical formula of Cr: Y3Al5O12. It is a relatively excellent Q-switched crystal product.
It can be used not only as a Q-switch, but also as a gain medium because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. It is widely used in the field of passively Q-switched lasers of laser rangefinders, lidar and LIBS systems.
Cr: YAG has the advantages of chemical stability, durability, UV resistance, good thermal conductivity, great damage threshold (>500 mw/cm2) and simple operation. It is surpassing traditional materials such as LIF and organic dyes.
Cr: YAG is an excellent and widely used electro-optical material for passive Q-switched (laser diode or lamp pumped) Nd: YAG, Nd: YLF, Nd: YVO4 and other 0.8~1.2 μm Nd (or Yb) doped lasers. It is also an active medium for CW, pulse or self-mode-locked tunable NIR solid-state lasers. The tunable range is 1340 – 1580 nm and the working wavelength is 950-1100 nm.
The absorption saturation at 1060 nm band can be used in small Nd: YAG oscillators with flashlamp or laser diode pump, instead of dye or lif:f central passive Q-switch, so that Cr4+: YAG crystal can achieve self mode locking (KML) state. It provides an opportunity to build a laser source with a pulse duration shorter than 100 fs at 1450-1580 nm.
