Polycrystalline Ceramic YAG

The polycrystalline ceramic YAG was designed as an inexpensive high-power replacement YAG, according to its developer, Konoshima Chemical Co. Ltd. of Kagawa, Japan. It offers five times the fracture toughness and can absorb more thermal and physical shock, thereby enabling higher pumping and output power. Ceramic YAG also has larger design capabilities because it uses a co-sintering process for growing the ceramics together. This allows a strong bond that will not peel or increase the scattering effect. Another advantage is doping versatility and quality. Its dopant uniformity can...Read full article
