OST Photonics Nd: YAG Laser Crystals

Nd:YAG is the most renowned and earliest laser host crystal, it has extensive applications in industry, medicine, military and science. Nd:YAG crystals are widely utilized in various types of solid-state laser systems, including frequency-doubled continuous wave and high-energy Q-switched lasers. The excellent fluorescent lifetime, thermal conductivity and physical strength of the material render it suitable for high-power lamp-pumped lasers.


OST Photonics provides standard Nd:YAG rods with AR coating at 1064nm, as well as customized rods or crystals tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers. Additionally, Nd:YAG transparent ceramics are available with a maximum doping concentration of 20%, if you have an interest in our Nd:YAG transparent ceramics, please do not hesitate to contact us.
