Diffusion Bonded Crystals with High Damage Threshold

Laser Lenses are used to focus collimated light from laser beams in a variety of laser applications. Laser Lenses include a range of lens types including HGQ Lenses, Cylinder Lenses, or Laser Generator Lenses. Laser Lenseare designed to focus light in several different ways depending on the lens type, such as focusing down to a point,a line, or a ring. Many different lens types are available in a range of wavelengths.

Er: YAG (Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) is a solid-state crystal widely used as a laser medium in various medical and dental applications. It is made by doping erbium ions into yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystals and can emit laser light with a wavelength of approximately 2.94 micrometers in the infrared spectrum.

BK7 window is the most common type of window. It has good performance over visible and near infrared wavelength regions. At the same time, BK7 window is ideal for applications require minimal transmitted beam deviation. It is suitable for AR coating.

YbYAG crystal is more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped systems. It can be pumped at 0.94 μm laser output. Compared with the commonly used Nd:YAG crystal, Yb:YAG crystal has a much larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements for diode lasers, a longer upper-state lifetime, three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power. Yb:YAG crystal is expected to replace Nd:YAG crystal for high power diode-pumped lasers and other potential applications.

Achromatic Lenses are used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. The achromatic design also helps minimize spherical aberrations. Achromatic Lenses are ideal for a range of applications, including fluorescence microscopy, image relay, inspection, or spectroscopy. Achromatic Lenses, which are often designed by either cementing two elements together or mounting the two elements in a housing, create smaller spot sizes than comparable singlet lenses.

Corner Cube Prism also called Retroreflector.It has three mutually perpendicular surfaces and a hypotenuse face. Light entering through the hypotenuse is reflected by each of the three surfaces in turn and will emerge through the hypotenuse face parallel to the entering beam regardless of the orientation of the incident beam. For its special performance, it is often used to the distance measurement, optical signal process and laser.

Invented by H.W. Dove, Dove Prisms are also known Reversion prisms.  When the prism is rotated about its length axis, the image viewed through the prism rotates at twice the prism rotation rate.  This is an unusual and sometimes useful property for special applications. Entry and exit faces are anti-reflection coated.

Ytterbium-doped Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate (Yb:KGd(WO₄)₂, Yb:KGW) crystal is an excellent laser gain material, boasting numerous advantages over the widely used Nd³⁺-doped materials. Its wide spectral emission band of 1023-1060 nm enables the generation of short laser pulses (picosecond or femtosecond level). The broad absorption band at 980 nm and highly absorbent pump radiation allow it to efficiently utilize diode laser pumping. Compared with YAG doped with Yb³⁺ ions, KGW crystal has a larger absorption cross-section, which reduces the minimum pump intensity required to achieve transparency in the quasi-two-level system of Yb.
