V:YAG Crystals, ⌀3mm, 98%@1064nm Initial Transmission

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.
