More info

Neodymium-doped Yttrium Lithium Fluoride (Nd: YLF) is a high-quality laser crystal recognized for its wide fluorescence linewidth, minimal thermal lensing effect, and inherent polarization traits. Doped Neodymium enhances the crystal's efficiency and enables high-performance laser outputs at wavelengths of 1047nm and 1053nm. It is commonly utilized in mode-locked lasers, continuous-wave lasers, and applications involving material processing. Nd: YLF acts as a substitute for Nd: YAG, particularly for near-infrared applications. This crystal is frequently utilized in linear polarization resonators, mode-locked lasers, diode-pumped Nd: YLF lasers, and Ti: sapphire chirped pulse amplifiers. Its outstanding performance makes it an essential part of advanced laser technologies.
