Yb:YAG

Ytterbium doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Yb:Y₃Al₅O₁₂ or Yb:YAG) is a laser-active material that can be

By pumping with a wavelength of 640 nm, laser radiation with a wavelength of 1030 nm can be generated. The advantages of Yb:YAG are a wide absorption bandwidth, high output power, and high emission power.

The Yb:YAG laser material is often used for industrial lasers for cutting and welding. Likewise, the crystal can be used in electronics and for optical components.
