2. Nd:YAG laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nd:YAG_laser

   Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y 3 Al 5 O 12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant , neodymium in the +3 oxidation state, Nd(III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are ...

3. List of laser types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

   The first laser, invented by Theodore Maiman in May 1960. Nd:YAG laser: 1.064 μm, (1.32 μm) Flashlamp, laser diode: Material processing, rangefinding, laser target designation, surgery, tattoo removal, hair removal, research, pumping other lasers (combined with frequency doubling to produce a green 532 nm beam). One of the most common high ...

4. Laser construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_construction

   Typical hosts include YAG (yttrium aluminium garnet), YLF (yttrium lithium fluoride), sapphire (aluminium oxide) and various glasses. Examples of solid-state laser media include Nd:YAG, Ti:sapphire, Cr:sapphire (usually known as ruby), Cr:LiSAF (chromium-doped lithium strontium aluminium fluoride), Er:YLF, Nd:glass, and Er:glass. Solid-state ...

5. YAG laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yag_laser

   YAG laser may refer to two types of lasers that use yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG): Nd:YAG laser (doped with neodymium) Er:YAG laser (doped with erbium

6. Diode-pumped solid-state laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode-pumped_solid-state_laser

   The most common DPSSL in use is the 532 nm wavelength green laser pointer. A powerful (>200 mW) 808 nm wavelength infrared GaAlAs laser diode pumps a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) or a neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO 4) crystal which produces 1064 nm wavelength light from the main spectral transition of ...

7. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   The neodymium (Nd) and neodymium yttrium-aluminium-garnet lasers are identical in style and differ only in the application. Nd is used for boring and where high energy but low repetition are required. The Nd:YAG laser is used where very high power is needed and for boring and engraving. Both CO 2 and Nd/Nd:YAG lasers can be used for welding. [13]

8. Active laser medium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_laser_medium

   Laser rods (from left to right): Ruby, Alexandrite, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG The active laser medium (also called a gain medium or lasing medium ) is the source of optical gain within a laser . The gain results from the stimulated emission of photons through electronic or molecular transitions to a lower energy state from a higher energy state previously ...

9. Optical tweezers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_tweezers

   The most basic optical tweezer setup will likely include the following components: a laser (usually Nd:YAG), a beam expander, some optics used to steer the beam location in the sample plane, a microscope objective and condenser to create the trap in the sample plane, a position detector (e.g. quadrant photodiode) to measure beam displacements ...
