Product Description
ND YAG is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant, triply ionized neodymium, Nd (III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%)of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are of similar size. It is the neodymium ion which provides the lazing activity in the crystal.
ND YAG lasers are optically pumped using a flash tube or laser diodes. These are one of the most common types of laser, and are used for many different
