Nd:YAG is the earliest and most famous laser host crystal. Since it combines great advantages in many basic properties, Nd:YAG is the ubiquitous presence for near-infrared solid-state lasers and their frequency-doubler, tripler, and higher order multiplier.

Advantages Of Nd:YAG：

• High gain;
• Low threshold;
• High efficiency;
• Low loss at 1064nm;
• Good thermal conductivity and thermal shock characteristics;
• Mechanical strength;
• High optical quality;
• Material characteristics that allow for various modes of operation (CW, pulsed, Q-switched, mode locked).
