Cr4+:YAG for passive Q-Switching of solid-state lasers
Passive Q-Switching is preferred for simplicity of manufacturing and operation, low cost and reduced system size and weight. Cr4+:YAG (Y3Al5O12) is an excellent crystal for passively Q-switching diode pumped or lamp-pumped Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Yb:YAG or other Nd and Yb doped lasers at wavelength from 1.0 to 1.2 mm.
Because of its chemically stability, durability, UV resistance, good thermal conductivity, and high damage threshold (> 500 MW/cm2), it will replace traditional materials such as LiF, organic Dye and color centers.
