Nd:YAG is the
earliest and most famous laser host crystal. Since it combines great advantages
in many basic properties,Nd:YAG is the ubiquitous presence for near-infrared
solid-state lasers and their frequency-doubler, tripler, and higher order
multiplier.
It is widely used
in industrial, medical, military and scientific fields.. Nd:YAG crystals are
wildly used in all types of solid-state laser systems-frequency-doubled
continuous wave, high-energy Q-switched, and so forth.Its good
fluorescent lifetime thermal conductivity and physical strengths makes it
suitable for high power lamp pumped laser.
