Yb:YAG Laser Crystal – FAQ
What wavelength does Yb:YAG operate at?
Yb:YAG lasers typically operate at 1030 nm and are pumped around 940 nm.
Why choose Yb:YAG instead of Nd:YAG?
Yb:YAG offers higher efficiency and lower thermal load due to its low quantum defect, making it ideal for high-power and ultrafast lasers.
What dopant concentrations are available?
Standard Yb:YAG concentrations range from 3–10 at.%. Custom concentrations are available.
Do you offer custom sizes or shapes?
Yes. Rods, slabs, discs, thin-disk formats, and custom geometries are supported.
Are AR coatings available?
Yes. AR coatings at 940 nm (pump) and 1030 nm (laser) are available, including dual-band designs.
What is the typical lead time?
In-stock items ship in 1–2 business days. Custom orders typically require 2–3 weeks.
