CY3457 YSGG Single Crystal

YSGG Single Crystal Description

One of the advantages of single crystal fiber is that a suitable matrix material can be selected for doping with a variety of rare-earth ions, so as to obtain the laser output of the target wavelength band. Compared with the larger loss of traditional glass fiber in the mid-infrared band, YSGG single crystal has a smaller loss in the outer band and has low phonon energy, high doping ion concentration, low transmission loss, and a large aspect ratio. The ratio and other characteristics make it a suitable matrix material for achieving mid-infrared laser output.
