V:YAG crystals «In Stock»

V:YAG is a relatively new saturable absorber. Passive Q-switch operation is available in the spectral range from 1064 nm to 1440 nm, primarily because of an extremely high ground state. These crystals can be used with active laser media such as Nd:YAG, Nd:YAP, Nd:KGW, Nd:YVO₄ and provide good lasing characteristics in passive Q-switched lasers. V:YAG features excellent optical, mechanical, and thermal properties and can be grown by the Czochralski method.
