Laser crystals.
- Alexandrite –(BeAl2O4:Cr3+) — it is used in tunable lasers with wavelength
of λ =
700 — 820nm. These lasers are widely applied in medicine, engineering and
technique, in military.
- Spinel–(Co2+:MgAl2O4), is used for laser shutters operating on λ = 1.3 and
1.54 nm.
- Titan-Sapphire–(Ti3+:Al2O3) — it is used in tunable lasers with
wavelength λ = 650 — 1000nm.
- Vanadate Yttrium — (YVO4, Nd3+:YVO4) — it is used
in diode pumped lasers operating at λ = 1.06 nm. It's the most prospective material for such lasers. Non–doped YVO4 crystals are applied in optical lines of communication.
- Yttrium Orthovanadate doped with Erbium and Ytterbium — (YVO4:Er3+,Yb3+, YVO4:Er3+, YVO4:Yb3+)—
it is
used in eye-safe lasers. In contradiction to glass doped with Er3+,Yb3+ YVO4 crystals can perform in cw regime with high pumping power and high efficiency. Their thermal conductivity is several times higher than thermal conductivity of glass that leads to improvement of generation characteristic of laser and lowers requirements to heat sink.
YVO4:Yb3+ has absorption broad band at 0.98 mm and can generate at @1.02 mm with high efficiency in connection with low loss of transfer of pumping energy.
- Yttrium Orthovanadate monocrystal — ( YVO4/Nd3+:YVO4) — crystals differ principally from analogous bonded crystals obtained by joining of undoped and Nd3+-doped crystals using thermal diffusion. Optical loss is observed on the welding border of two part in bonded crystals and they lead to decreasing of laser efficiency and cracks can appear on this border at certain light load that contribute to destruction of optical rod. This welding border is absent in these growth-combined crystals, so they are lack disadvantages above. Crystals have output generation characteristics 10-15 % higher than combined ones. They can bear higher loads without destruction.
- Gadolinium Vanadate — (GdVO4) — these crystals allow to create effective diode-pumped lasers for applications in medicine and technique.
- Forsterite — (Cr4+:Mg2SiO4) — it is applied in tunable lasers with wavelength λ
= 1140–1345nm.
- Beryllate Lanthanum — (Nd3+:La2Be2O5) — it is highly
effective material for solid–state lasers operating at λ =
1.07–1.08 nm.
- Hexaaluminate Beryllium — (Cr3+:BeAl6O10),
Jewelry crystals.
- Alexandrite (BeAl2O4:Cr3+) — according
to its chemical and physical properties our alexandrite is the complete
analogue of natural occurred alexandrite. We can manage different hues of
colors.
- Ruby — (Cr3+:Al2O3) — crystals of real high quality. Growing from
Iridium crucibles by Czochralski technique. Color — pigeon blood.
- Tanzanion — (Mg2SiO4:Co2+) — it is the complete analogue of natural occurred
stone by its color, chemical and physical properties. The only difference is
in chemical composition.
