Chromium thulium holmium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (CTH:YAG) is a crystal that emits laser radiation at 2080nm wavelength. This highly efficient crystal can be either flash lamp pumped or diode pumped and is used in meteorological and military fields. Due to its high optical quality, low scattering losses and high efficiency, CTH:YAG laser crystals are used in medical fields such as dentistry, therapy and surgery.
