Yb：KGW laser crystal datasheet-Laser-crylink

With the emergence of laser diode as the preferred pump source for inertial confinement fusion and the application and development of Yb3+ laser materials in communication and military, the research on Yb3+ laser materials will reach a climax. Yb3+: KGd(WO4)2 (Yb:KGW) is one of the most promising laser active materials. Yb:KGW crystal is expected to replace Nd:YAG crystal and Yb:YAG crystal in high power diode pumped laser system. Yb:KGW also has great potential for high power, short pulse time femtosecond lasers and their wide application.

Yb3+:KGW has large absorption coefficient, low quantum defect, high absorption and emission cross section

The simple two-level electronic structure of the Yb ion avoids undesired loss processes such as upconversion, excited state absorption, and concentration quenching. Compared to the commonly used Nd:YAG crystal, Yb:KGW crystal has a much larger absorption bandwidth, 3 or 4 times longer emission lifetime in similar hosts with enhanced storage capacity, lower quantum defect and is more suitable for diode pumping than the traditional Nd-doped systems. The smaller Stokes shift reduces heating and increases the laser efficiency. In comparison with other Yb doped laser crystals such as Yb:YAG and Yb:YCOB crystals, Yb:KGW has a much higher (13-17 times) cross-section of absorption, lower quantum defect (~4%), a cross-section of emission that is 9 times higher than Yb: YCOB, and an emission band that is broader than Yb:YAG, a high nonlinear coefficient of refraction, and the highest slope efficiency (87%).

Pockels Cells Crystal

1. Pockels Cells Based on the electro-optic effect , when the applied electric area acts on the Pockels cell crystal ( electro-optic crystal ), the Pockels cell crystal (electro-optic crystal) is like a wave plate whose phase delay is related to the used electric field. The polarization state of the outbound light from the Pockels cell crystal will certainly change so that the strength as well as amplitude of the outbound light from the analyzer are regulated, which is electro-optic inflection, and the modulation tool is called a Pockels cell. 2. Pockels cell crystal The crystals that produce the electro-optical effect are called Pockels cell crystals, that is, electro-optical crystals. They each have their benefits. Presently, the major Pockels cell crystals on the marketplace consist of BBO crystals , DKDP crystals , KTP crystals , as well as LN (LiNbO3) crystals . (1) BBO crystal BBO crystal , additionally called barium metaborate crystal, chemical formula BaB2O4, is an electro-opt

  YCOB nonlinear crystal – Laser Crylink laser crylink Description YCOB crystal is one of the most widely used nonlinear optical crystals. Its nonlinear optical coefficient is equivalent to that of BBO crystal and LBO crystal. The effective frequency multiplication coefficients of the second and third order reach 2, 8 and 1, 4 times of KDP respectively. The YCOB crystal has the following advantages : large aperture, high damage intensity in femtosecond regime,about2000-2500GW/cm2 wide allowable Angle range and allowable temperature range, small dispersion Angle, shorter growth period by Cz method. At the same time, it has stable physical and chemical properties (non-deliquescent) and good machining properties. Therefore, it is considered to have good application prospects of blue-green light and UV band optical frequency multiplier crystal. Feature · Electric resistivity is high · Temperature acceptance is high · Laser induce damage threshold is high · Less anisotropy · Thermal expansi

Neodymium doped yttrium vanadate (Nd: YVO4) is a kind of laser crystal extensively utilized at present. It has superb efficiency as well as is among the major laser crystals for semiconductor pumped solid state lasers today. Nd: YVO4 crystal is a tetragonal crystal, belonging to the uniaxial crystal system, which is composed of doped ion Nd and also laser matrix YVO4. Compared to another frequently utilized Nd: YAG crystal, Nd: YVO4 has the advantage of higher absorption coefficient. In a specific variety of absorption transmission capacity, the absorption effectiveness of Nd: YVO4 is 5 times that of Nd: YAG, the transmission capacity is 2.4-6.3 times that of Nd: YAG, as well as the peak wavelength of the absorption top is reached at concerning 808nm, which has satisfied the requirements of present high-power laser diodes. The boosted sample of Nd: YVO4 at 1064nm and also 1342nm are bigger, and also the boosted random sample of Nd: YAG at 1064nm have to do with 3 times that of Nd: YAG
