Product Details
Cr4+:YAG crystal can be used not only as Q-switch but also as gain
medium because of its excellent physicochemical properties. The
Q-switch operation of pulse and CW Nd:YAG lasers has been realized
by using Cr4+:YAG as Q-switch, and the CW tunable and
self-mode-locked operation has also been realized by using CR4 +:
YAG as gain medium. Compared with the traditional saturable
absorber, Cr: YAG is superior to the traditional saturable absorber
in many aspects. The doping concentration of Cr4+ ion in Cr4+:YAG
is as high as 1018 cm-3, which can effectively reduce the size of
passive Q-switch elements. It is beneficial to achieve high optical
conversion efficiency, integration, and compact passive Q-switch
laser.

Crylink
——growing crystals, linking values
We are seller of crystals. At same time, we are producer of
crystals.
It is a long and arduous process from seed crystal to the desired
single crystal, the composition of the crystal changes through
three states and eventually grows into beautiful crystals. We
witness the growth process of each crystal and clearly know
technologies of each step in the crystal growth process, which
means that we can directly provide customers with crystals that
satisfied customer requirements.
We create value. At same time, we link value.
From company to individual, we all pursue the word "value".
Individual is valuable in society, enterprise is valuable in the
industry. We cherish the existence of value. We hope to set the
enterprise’ value as start pointing, expand to the surrounding,
extend the value from the customer to the supplier. Linking
enterprise and the industry more closer, to create more value.
