Yttrium aluminium oxide YAlO3 (YAP) is an attractive laser host for erbium ions due to its natural birefringence combined with good thermal and mechanical properties similar to those of YAG.
Ho,Cr,Tm:YAG -yttrium aluminium garnet laser crystals doped with chromium,thulium and holmium ions to provide lasing at 2.13 microns are finding more and more applications,especially in the medical industry.The inherent advantage of the crystal crystal is that it employs YAG as the host. YAG’s physical,thermal and optical properties are well known and understood by every laser designer. It has wide applications in surgery, dentistry, atmospheric testing, etc.
Nd: YAG crystal rod is used in Laser marking machine and other laser equipment.
It is the only solid substances that can work continuously at room temperature, and is the most excellent performance laser crystal.
Nd:YAP AlO3 perovskite (YAP) is a well known host for solid state lasers. The crystal anisotropy of YAP offers numerous advantages.It permits a small tuning of wavelength by varyingthe wave vector direction in the crystal. Furthermore, the output beam is linearly polarised.
