27 Jul 2017 Yb:YAG laser crystals are widely used gain medium for solid state lasers. Absence of excited state absorption or up-conversion, relatively large absorption band, long lifetime combined with an excellent thermomechanical and optical properties of YAG host material and rapid development of high efficiency and brightness InGaAs pump diodes allows to reach energy and efficiency levels like never before. Yb:YAG are usually rectangular (slab) or disc shaped.
Pumping at 940nm or 970nm
Emission at 1030nm
Low quantum defect
Laser transition levels: 2F5/2 → 4F7/2
