Yb:YAG レーザー結晶
Yb:YAG is one of the most promising laser-active materials and more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped systems. Compared with the commonly used Nd:YAG crystal, Yb:YAG crystal has a much larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements for diode lasers, a longer upper-laser level lifetime, three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power.
Yb:YAG crystal at 1030nm is a good substitute for a Nd:YAG crystal at 1064nm and its second harmonic at 515nm may replace Ar-ion laser(with a large volume), which emit at 514nm.
Advantages of Yb:YAG Crystals
- Very low fractional heating, less than11%
- Very high slope efficiency
- Broad absorption bands, about 8nm@940nm
- No excited-state absorption or up-conversion
- Conveniently pumped by reliable InGaAs diodes at 940nm(or 970nm)
- High thermal conductivity and large mechanical strength * High optical quality
