Couldn't load pickup availability
Er:YAG (Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser crystals are the industry standard gain medium for 2940 nm mid-infrared lasers, a wavelength that coincides with the peak absorption of water.
This unique property enables extremely precise tissue ablation with minimal thermal damage, making Er:YAG the preferred crystal for medical, dental, and dermatological laser systems.
Our Er:YAG crystals are manufactured to laser grade, offering high optical uniformity, low absorption loss, and precision polishing for reliable and repeatable medical-laser performance.
