Cr4＋:YAG
Cr4+:YAG Crystal is an excellent crystal for passively Q-switching diode pumped or lamp-pumped Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4 or other Nd and Yb doped lasers at wavelength from 0.8 to 1.2 µm. Passive Q-switches or saturable absorbers provide high power laser pulses without electro-optic Q-switches, thereby reducing the package size and eliminating a high voltage power supply. Cr4+:YAG is more robust than dyes or color centers and is the material of choice for 1 µm Nd lasers.
Advantages:
1. High chemica stability and reliability
2. Being easy to be operated
3. High damage threshold (>500MW/cm2)
4. As high power,solid state and compact passive Q-Switch
5. Long life time and good thermal conductivity
