Yb:YLF

CRYLINK’s Yb: YLF crystal products are laser crystal products with excellent comprehensive performance. It is widely used in laser cooling, low-temperature detection, and diode pumping. The product is characterized by low quantum defects, high thermal conductivity, and a wide tuning range. It can be used in mode-locked, subpicosecond pulse lasers, diode-pumped chirped pulse regeneration amplifiers, and thin-disk laser products.

  • Low thermal load
  • Wide tuning range
  • High average power
  • Low quantum defects
  • High thermal conductivity
  • A wide range of tunability
  • Wide laser emission spectrum
  • Absorption spectra are well-matched to the emission wavelength of the InGaAs laser diode
  • Simple electronic structures exclude excitation state absorption and various harmful annihilation processes
