Nd:YAG Crystal

During the last decade, Nd:YVO4 has been developed as a promising substitutes for Nd:YAG in diode-pumped lasers due to its high absorption and emission cross-sections. However, the applications of Nd:YVO4 are limited due to its poor physical-mechanical properties and growth difficulty etc. Now, we have developed the high-doped Nd:YAG (SUPER-Nd:YAG) recently. It shows high absorption cross-section and have many advantages over Nd:YVO4:

·  Due to the cubic symmetry and high quality, Nd:YAG is easy to operate with TEMoo mode

·  Nd:YAG can be Q-switched with Cr4+:YAG directly

·  Nd:YAG can produce blue laser with the frequency-doubling of 946nm

·  Nd:YAG can be operated in a very high power laser up to kW level

The high neodymium-ion doped YAG has been grown by the novel technique-Temperature Gradient Technique (TGT). The Nd concentration can be doped up to 3%. As large as f100x80mm bulk crystals with excellent optical homogeneity, less scattering particles, low dislocation density have been obtained.
