The new laser system operates at a repetition rate of 6 kHz and utilizes a homemade Yb:YAG crystal amplifier to produce a 1030-nm laser. This laser is divided into two parts: one part undergoes ...

Nd:YAG crystal (Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser crystal, Nd:Y3Al5O12) is the most widely used solid state laser crystal. Nd:YAG laser crystal is a highly sought-after material in ...

In their study, they observed the growth of spatially ordered rod- and lamellar-shaped YAG crystals within an alumina matrix on a sapphire wafer under Al-rich conditions. Conversely, under Y-rich ...
