Cr4+:YAG Crystal (Chromium doped yttrium aluminum garnet)

Crystals >>> Passive Q Swith Crystal >>>  Cr4+:YAG Crystal

Chromium doped yttrium aluminum garnet or Cr4+:YAG has higher damage threshold and is mostly used in passively Q-switching diode pumped or lamp pumped passive Q-switching materials.  Its main advantages are high damage threshold, and absorptions wavelength of 900nm--1200nm, and peak of around 1060nm with large absorption section.  

New Rise Optics supplies a wide variety of finished crystals.  Our general production of Cr4+:YAG follows:
