4Lasers introduces Yb:CaF2 crystals

2018-06-29

4Lasers introduces Yb:CaF2 Crystals that are among the most studied and promising crystals for the development of short-pulse, high-energy, high-power diode-pumped solid state lasers. 

Three main reasons explain this trend. The first, calcium fluoride is a simple cubic crystal whose crystallographic properties are fairly well known. This crystal can be grown in large dimension and optical-quality for laser applications have been demonstrated a long time ago. The simple structure of this crystal permits to obtain good thermal properties. Finally, Yb-doped calcium fluorides have very broad and smooth emission bands, which is exceptional for cubic crystals.
