Yb:YAB Crystals, AR/AR@520+976+1040nm
Yb3+:YAB crystal is one of the few representative crystal materials with multifunctional properties. It has nonlinear optical properties that allow the direct conversion of infrared radiation to visible light through a second-order nonlinear process. Yb:YAB crystals have good mechanical strength, good thermal conductivity and stable chemical properties. We can provide Yb3+:YAB crystals in various specifications.
