Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder Application

Ytterbium Oxide, also called Ytterbia, is being applied to numerous fiber amplifier and fiber optic technologies, High purity Ytterbium Oxide are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers an important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. As Ytterbium Oxide has a significantly higher emissivity in the infrared range than Magnesium Oxide, higher radiant intensity is obtained with Ytterbium-based payloads in comparison to those commonly based on Magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV).
