Chromium doped forsterite

Material

Chromium-doped forsterite (Cr4+: Mg2SiO4) is a laser-active material that covers the wavelength spectrum in the near infrared range. Wavelengths from 1130nm to 1348nm can be generated, which can be excellently transmitted with optical fibers. The Forsterit laser is ideally suited for applications such as semiconductor characterization, eye-safe distance measurement as well as medical and industrial applications. Both operating modes, CW and pulsed mode, can be realized. Typical pump wavelengths are: 532nm, 578nm, 629nm and 1064nm.

We offer Forsterit crystals up to a length of 120mm with a diameter of up to 30mm. Anti-reflective coatings can also be offered if required.
