Yb:YAG
Yb:YAG crystal is one of the most promising laser-active materials and more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped systems. It can be pumped at 0.94 μm and generate 1.03 μm laser output. Yb:YAG crystal at 1030nm is a good substitute for a Nd:YAG crystal at 1064nm and its second harmonic at 515nm may replace Ar-ion laser(with a large volume), which emits at 514nm. Yb:YAG crystal is expected to replace Nd:YAG crystal for high power diode-pumped lasers and other potential applications.
Advantages:
1. High optical quality
2. Very high slope efficiency
3. Very low fractional heating, less than11%
4. No excited-state absorption or up-conversion
5. Broad absorption bands, about 8nm@940nm
6. High thermal conductivity and large mechanical strength
7. Conveniently pumped by reliable InGaAs diodes at 940nm(or 970nm)
