Nd:YLF

Nd:YLF is a solid-state laser material that operates primarily at wavelengths of 1047 and 1053 nanometers. It is favored for its high efficiency, low thermal lensing and relatively long upper-state lifetime, making it ideal for applications in precision machining, medical procedures and scientific research.

PRODUCT FEATURE & SPECIFICATIONS

PRODUCT FEATURE

Relatively small stimulated emission cross section

Effective single mode operation,high power and low beam divergence

The output linearly polarized laser is beneficial to get high efficiency Q-switching and frequency doubling output.

It is suitable to be used as oscillator and preamplifier of high power Nd:Glass laser system.
