Cr+4:YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) crystal passive Q-switch
Cr+4:Y3Al5O12 or Cr+4:YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) - is a material that can
be used as an active media for CW, pulsed or self mode-locked tunable NIR solid-state
lasers with tunability range 1340 - 1580 nm as well as a media for Q-switching
in lasers with operating wavelength at 950 - 1100 nm. Cr+4:Y3Al5O12 or Cr+4:YAG
(Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) is particularly useful in practical applications because
of convenient absorption band of Cr+4 around 1 mm which gives possibilities
to pump it by regular Nd:YAG lasers. A saturation of absorption in the band
at 1060 nm is useful for application in small sized Nd:YAG oscillators with
flash lamp or laser diode pumping instead of based on dye or LiF:F-center Cr+4:YAG
(Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) crystal passive Q-switches. Using the Cr+4:YAG (Yttrium
Aluminum Garnet) crystal the self mode-locking (KML) regime is achievable. It
gives an opportunity to build the laser source with pulse duration shorter then
100 fs at 1450 - 1580 nm.
Cr+4:YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) crystal passive Q-switch is applicable
in areas of research, development, education & production: photonics, optic,
laser technology, dosimetry, telecommunications, electronic.
