Co:Spinel Crystals

Passive Q-switches or saturable absorbers generate high power laser pulses without the use of electro-optic Q-switches, thereby reducing the package size and eliminating a high voltage power supply. Co²⁺:MgAl₂O₄ is a relatively new material for passive Q-switching in lasers emitting from 1.2 to 1.6μm, in particular, for eye-safe 1.54μm Er:glass laser, but also works at 1.44μm and 1.34μm laser wavelengths. Spinel is a hard, stable crystal that polishes well.
Nd: YAG Crystals

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.
KD*P EO Q-Switch

E-O Q Switch alters the polarization state of light passing through it when an applied voltage induces birefringence changes in an electro-optic crystal such as KD*P. When used in conjunction with polarizers, these cells can function as optical switches, or laser Q-switches.
Nd:YAP Crystals

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.
Cr4 +: YAG Crystals

Cr4+:YAG is an ideal material for passive Q-switching of Nd:YAG and other Nd and Yb doped lasers in the wavelength range of 0.8 to 1.2um.It is superior stability and reliability, long service life and high damage threshold.
Undoped YAG Crystals

Undoped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Y3Al5O12 or YAG) is a new substrate and optical material that can be used for both UV and IR optics. It is particularly useful for high-temperature and high-energy applications. The mechanical and chemical stability of YAG is similar to that of Sapphire.
