V3+:YAG crystal has good chemical stability and thermal conductivity, UV resistance, and high damage threshold. Crystals can be used with active lasing media such as Nd:YAG, Nd:YAP, Nd:KGW, Nd:YVO4, and provide good lasing characteristics in passive Q-switched lasers. We offer V3+:YAG crystals in various sizes. V:YAG has excellent optical, mechanical and thermal properties and can be grown by the Czochralski method.

High ground state absorption; insignificant excited state absorption; high Q-switching contrast; good optical, mechanical and thermal properties; UV resistance, high damage threshold
V3+:YAG crystals are a relatively new material for saturable absorber passive Q-switching in lasers emitting 1.06 to 1.44 µm, especially for 1.3 µm neodymium lasers.
