CRYLINK’s Ho: YLF crystal product, also known as holmium doped yttrium fluoride lithium crystal. It is a laser product with excellent comprehensive performance. It is widely used in industry, medical treatment, and scientific research. The product has the characteristics of a low nonlinear refractive index, low thermal, constant optical value, and long service life of 5I7 energy level. It can be used in remote sensing and pollutant monitoring solid laser products.

  • High emission cross-section
  • Long upper laser level lifetime
  • Naturally birefringent material
  • Efficient Q switch operation (up to 37 mJ per pulse)
  • The low value of dn/dT leads to a weak thermal lensing
  • The continuous wave output of the YLF laser can be up to 21W
