Nd:YLF Crystal-manufacture,factory,supplier from China

YLF is birefringent, which eliminates thermally induced depolarization loss. The gain and the emission wavelength of Nd:YLF are polarization dependent: there is the stronger 1047nm ray for π polarization, and a weaker one at 1053nm for σ polarization. Nd:YLF provides alternative to the more common Nd:YAG laser crystal for near IR operation.

Nd: YLF (Nd:LiYF4) is a laser material that acts as an alternative to Nd:YAG. It is very suitable for working in mode-locked state to make pulse lasers at wavelength 1053nm, 1047nm, 1313nm, 1324nm and 1370 nm. Nd:YLF has very small thermal lens effect (much smaller than YAG crystal), wide fluorescent line, and can generate linear-polarized beam. The relatively small stimulated emission cross section of Nd:YLF makes it suitable for continuous work with low threshold.

Moreover, the effective nonlinear coefficient of PPKTP is about 3 times higher than that of conventional KTP. In the nonlinear application of conventional KTP, the crystal must have a single domain structure, but PPKTP crystal has an artificially induced periodic domain structure.

Barium Borate exists in three major crystalline forms: alpha, beta, and gamma. The low-temperature beta phase converts into the alpha phase upon heating to 925 °C. β-BBO differs from α-BBO by the positions of the barium ions within the crystal. Both phases are birefringent, however α-BBO has centric symmetry and thus does not has the same nonlinear properties as β-BBO.α-BBO is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm.

Beta-BBO crystal is an important nonlinear optical crystal with combination of unique optical properties, such as broad transmission and phase matching ranges, large nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold and excellent optical homogeneity. The β-BBO crystal is an efficient material for the second, third and fourth harmonic generation of Nd:YAG lasers, and the best NLO material for the fifth harmonic generation at 213 nm.

Tm:YAP crystal is one of the most important crystals for LD pumping 2μm laser. The anisotropic structure of Tm:YAP produces anisotropic emission cross section. Tm:YAP crystals with different orientations have different output wavelengths and operating forms for different functions. Compared with the physical and chemical properties of Tm:YAG, the 795nm pump absorption band of Tm:YAP matches the emission wavelength of commonly used high-power AlGaAs diodes better.

Tm3+:YLF crystal has a high absorption peak around 792 nm which locates in the diode pumping range, and also has a cross-relaxation process that provides the possibility for each absorbed pump photon to produce to ions at higher laser energy level. Tm3+: YLF laser is very suitable as a pump source for Ho3+:YAG laser. This is due to the good overlap of the emission band of Tm3+:YLF and the absorption band of Ho3+:YAG, and the ability to produce a linearly polarized output.
